I don't mean to offend or delegitimize anyone who uses or prefers the term. I think anything that makes people feel comfortable or empowered or supported is good. It's just that this one particular term leaves me with an odd feeling that I haven't been able to resolve on my own and I wanted to reach out to the largest and most supportive trans community I'm apart of.

I guess I am also generally a little weird about language. I don't like to use the b-word and I also find 'pantie' to be sort of gross.
