The Pocket Trans Language Guide is your stylistic reference for talking or writing about transness and trans people. In it, you'll find:

 

  • The uses cases for "trans" and "transgender" as well as a few lesser-used terms,
  • How to discuss gender in general,
  • Ways of linguistically respecting those who have social transitioned or are in the midst of doing so,
  • More advanced directions on the usage of gender pronouns,
  • A few tactics for gender-neutral language,
  • A discussion on the less-than-ideal use of the letter "X" in existing words, and
  • How to use medical terms!

 

This is a great zine for anyone who knows trans people exist and wants to respect them, but just needs some help with verbiage.
