This is a really good article!

From the BBC: A guide to transgender terms.

It gives a brief, but good, guide to the general terms, ending on this note:

'Ask. Listen. Respect'

Journalist and campaigner Jane Fae suggests it doesn't have to be complicated dealing with transgender terms. "People are individuals," she says. "Ask politely, listen to what individuals have to say and respect what they tell you.

"It's a principle and an approach to life that will take you a long way - and not just with the transgender community."

That is a very enlightening article.

I've picked this stuff up from fandom/Tumblr/own research, but it's great to see an article like this somewhere mainstream.

It collates everything beautifully. (IMHO, not being an expert of course.)

Logic, common sense, politesse - it's simple really, isn't it?

So you would think!

Most of this I knew but some of it I didn't. My bosses FIL always says "it's a good day when you can learn something new". So, thank you for my something new today.

Totally my pleasure.

I've picked most of it up over the past few years, but it's great to have a catch-all article, as most stuff is scattered.
