I think Bionca put some worthwhile perspective on this, particularly because she is NOT a moderator on whom it seems it is incumbent to be the guardian of Transgender terminology.
The offence was one of insensitivity and sheer carelessness - and of ignorance which ( presumably ) has now been corrected, albeit in somewhat strong terms.
I think all members should be aware that this forum is not merely for individuals seeking a sexual turn-on, and that all the time we deal with the sensitivities of others.
