You'll get used to it after a while. It ain't worth getting your jimmies rustled over.

>"So you're transgender? Why do you WANT TO Be a woman? :^)"

Iktf OP.
The worst is when young people, self styled allies, use "transgender" like a noun.

The other one that really bugs me is
>he's a she

Considering that you're posting here instead of tumblr they asked the right question.

>>8643860
Do you get bootyblasted by all use of adjectives as nouns, for example "the rich," or just this one?

>>8643755
You forgot:
>transgendering

Literally had this said to me by a doctor.

They're not really grammatically equivalent though, people say "a transgender" but not "a rich", and "the rich" but not "the transgender".

>a white
That doesn't sound correct to me. I suppose it works with some words and sounds awkward with others.

>an atheist
Not really an adjective used as a noun, atheist as a noun seems to be more common than use of it as an adjective, so it seems like it's the reverse of what you're talking about.

>a woman
Not in any sense an adjective. Sometimes you use woman (a noun) where an adjective is expected, like "a woman firefighter", but again that's the opposite of the construct you're using.

(I'm not the other person who replied, those were some bad examples.) I'm actually having some trouble coming up with the nounal case you have in mind. Is it something like "are you a transgender?" Because that's slightly awkward usage, but still grammatically plausible.
Or is this the analogous case to "the rich" of saying something like "the transgenders" to refer to the community? Or some other, even more obscure linguistic thing?
