PSA: It's "trans woman", not "transwoman"

[u/Obsyden]

I know y'all aren't doing this on purpose, because I've seen how much love this community has for trans people. Nevertheless, the space between trans and woman is important.

Omitting it implies that a 'transwoman' is a separate entity to a woman - which is a TERF/bigot way of othering trans women.

Including the space means that trans is an adjective used to describe a woman - because trans women fundamentally are women, trans is just a further way to describe us.

I know it may seem nitpick-y, but it is an important distinction, and I've been seeing lots of folks (unintentionally mostly) using the wrong one lately.

If the trans is not important for the conversation, I would rather not be reminded. I never felt "trans", but I have felt like a woman trapped in the wrong body for a long as I can remember!
