    From Tumblr: "7. Help! I’m a straight, white, male, cisgendered, thin, ablebodied human! What should I do?! Option 1: die Option 2: choke and die"

        @purple It means your sex and gender are aligned.

              @nixter I always thought "metrosexual" was a stupid term. I mean, it sounds like "I have sex with trains and busses!"

            @purple Because the word "normal" implies that transgender people are abnormal, which isn't fair, correct or particularly pleasant. It is the neutral, "politically correct" term.

              @ceruleanspark politically correct, seems like it's a lot of work... I will just stick with omitting a desinator when referring to a non transgendered person, and just adding the term transgendered when needed.
