Love everything about your sentiment here. Its not okay.

Unrelated to your sentiment, but I think most trans folk are a lot more comfortable being referred to as “transgender” rather than “transgendered”, and the former is considered the correct term, by my understanding. Data point of one, but I get big alarm bells when someone says “transgendered”, and since I’ve seen you around clearly not being transphobic, I thought it perhaps worth mentioning. Have a nice day!
