Clean up wording in Groupings items
MtF and FtM are considered archaic and/or offensive terms by many trans people. "Trans" is also not a noun. Replace "MtF trans" and "FtM trans" with "trans female" and "trans male", respectively.
Also prefix trans items with "1" for consistency. (i.e., "1 female", ergo "1 trans female")
Hello again, and thanks for another pull request :)
I did not know MtF or FtM were considered offensive. I definitely want to change that to something else. I'm a little worried about using "trans female" / "trans male" however, as I think it would be less clear for a lot of people (as to whether it means, born as female or identifies as female). Do you think you could suggest an alternative that people would more easily understand?
(I totally agree with the "1" note, I'm not sure how I failed to notice that disparity until after your mentioning of it!)
I think 'trans male' and 'trans female' is reasonably clear to anyone who's familiar with trans people at all. We're not gonna identify ourselves with the thing that we don't want to be seen as. So a trans woman or trans female would be "MtF", trans man or trans male would be "FtM".
as a trans girl myself I second this change. pretty please pull it (´ ｡•ω•｡)っ⌒♡｡．
on second thought, why do we even have trans listed separately? "trans" is not a gender. i would much rather it just say "1 female" and "1 male" and leave out the transgender questions entirely.
@amyadzuki in an ideal world, people would look to trans people entirely as their preferred gender. But that's just not the case (especially in the case of pre-op/non-op). I will most likely create a v1.0.3.html with updated wording on this in a few days.
