In response to "what's wrong with the term "female bodied" and/or "male bodied?" And what's pereferable?

(Not because it's politically correct, but because otherwise it'll sound like you don't have a clue what the fuck you're talking about.)

Thanks!

Clear communication around awkward topics is kind of a hobby of mine.

It's kind of one of the reasons I secretly rely on you to make my world seem more sane.

I like the "check with them first" before making assumptions.

This is something I earnestly try to do.

As I try to do to the best of my ability by using inclusive language & avoiding assumptions when I'm at work. I'm on the telephone, so I try to be as inclusive as possible. I don't know what a person on the phone is presenting as their gender, or if they are identifying with a gender. It makes it hard some days.

Thanks for the tips.
