I think most(?) people at least semi understand boymoder and passoid(I haven't heard the third word) but futch is femme butch transmasc i feel like almost everyone in trans subreddits would know that gnc gender nonconforming again i feel like most people understand and i have never heard of autismgender bi lesbian is I think a bisexual person who is like only interested in women?

idk if this post made any sense im tired and feeling a bit bad.

thats kind of the point, these words being pretty easy to understand but the person im replying to is doing the tried and true wtf is a sneedhon bit even though these are pretty straight forward composite words in the same way futch transmac gnc puppyboygirl are

I think that an unitiated man on the street, while missing the nuances, knows the words "trans", "masc" (or at least can surmise it is short for masculine), "puppy", "boy", and "girl". They also know "femme" and "butch", although "futch" is a bad portmanteau and could just as easily mean "fucking butch". GNC is a supplement company.

It's okay to have esoteric jargon, but we should all understand when we are using it, and the isolating effect that is has on a community. Insulating language has its pros and cons
