Advocating for correction of language used to describe transgender persons in "You'll Regret Using Natural Keys"

[clhenrick]

Hi, to make your recent blog post You'll Regret Using Natural Keys sound less antagonistic towards people who are transgender I'd recommend changing the following paragraph as follows:

As an example, for technical-historical reasons, the Danish CPR number carries information (which keys shouldn't do), such as a person's date of birth and assigned sex. Since 2014 a new law enables ~~transsexual~~ transgender citizens to get a new CPR number that reflects their ~~perceived~~ gender identity. The consequence is that the same person may have more than one CPR number. Perhaps not more than one at the same time, but definitely two during a lifetime.

In the above block quote bolded words mean additions and ~~strike through~~ words mean removals.

Thanks for your consideration in this matter.
