I appreciate you amending your post to strike through the slurs and problematic language - but maybe just remove the old words entirely and leave an edit at the bottom mentioning you removed problematic language? For many transgender folk it can be quite distressing seeing the word used
As for advice for this kind of thing, as other people mentioned there's a lot of advice if you just search for it. Shrimpteeth is a wonderful resource, they have an Instagram account with a lot of free resources too.
I don't know how it looks on Lemmy, but on Kbin the words aren't struck through. OP, you definitely want to remove them.
Huh, maybe it's beehaw doing some awesome work to make the experience nicer
