As soon as you invent categories for people, you're sure to hurt some of them. I think the trans label was created with good intent, but yeah, I can see how it makes you feel.
I'd totally sign a petition to ged rid of any gender-describing category in the whole world. Imagine humanity consisting of just people without any pronouns. Everybody is just somebody, no matter the cover, no matter the content. I mean, differentiating between women and men even brought us to the point where you have to create said wiki page to point out the problem with that.
Yes, I know I'm being unrealistic. But I'm not sure if you can fix the categories by joining some and adding others. I'm just part dreaming of a better world and part angry that there has been so much inequality that the street names are just the tip of the iceberg.

@rompe@gts.rompe.org I have no problem with there being a way to say “this person is trans”. I'm trans. I'm proud of being trans. Being trans is cool! I also like being a woman. I don't want to be treated as not a woman.
