Wait, we're allowed to use the word "Trap" to refer to crossdressers? I knew we weren't allowed to use it to refer to trans people (for obvious reasons), but it's still cool to call crossdressers that? Disgaea 4's PC release told me it wasn't.. gahh
Okay, I don't understand the Post-Twitter landscape. Is there a book of rules I can see
From what I've seen you have crossdressers self identifying as trap (a subgroup of all crossdressers and I could see how the term would be offensive to the rest as well) on one side and people that are unaware that group exists and think trap is exclusively a derogatory term for trans ppl (or think enjoying crossdressing MUST mean you're trans) on the other.
It's a whole mess as any offensive language tends to be, because words rarely ever only have one meaning and there's also more than one language in the world but terms still cross from one language into others.
Honestly as long as you're trying to be considerate of others I don't think anyone can fault you, and that goes for everything. People will try to speak for everyone, but even when they do speak for the majority there are usually exceptions.
