transgenderism

Forgive me if I've been mislead, but from what I understand "transgenderism" is a term used by transphobes to diminish a legitimate phenomenon, implying it is a belief or fad.

Still upvoted for contributing to the discussion and for supporting an alien in his search for the universe's best cup of coffee.

    I know, that's why I used that word in that context. They don't care, they just see someone not extremely masculine or feminine, then think they must be trans. I got accused of "formerly having 'rapid onset gender dysphoria'", because I used to have long hair for metal reasons.

    I always hear "transgender ideology" from transphobes, to make it more of a thought exercise and fad than a physical state of being. "Transgenderism" is a word I've been familiar with for decades but it may have been coopted or is being eschewed now, not sure.
