midwestgenderqueer: great teaching tool! I love it. Though I wish it had a disclaimer mentioning that language is, overall, subjective. I know, and have met, many trans* people who choose “transgendered” or “a transgender” as their own descriptors. Yes, technically it is grammatically “incorrect” but it is their relationship with the word since we don’t have (and haven’t had) these conversations out for wide distribution in the community. I wouldn’t want to see a graphic like this leading to someone correcting a trans* person on how they describe themselves. So, with all that said, great graphic. transstudent: Gender Grammar!
