TRANS IS AN ADJECTIVE!!
you wouldn't call someone a tallwoman, a blondman or a disabledperson. It's not a fucking job title.

Reminder that when referring to someone trans, it’s trans <space> person/man/woman. So trans person, trans woman, trans man. We don‘t say cisman, ciswoman, cisperson, because the word is a descriptor of a type of person, not a whole new person.
