✨ Qeli on Nostr: I need some feedback from other #[0] and #[1] folks on something I have mixed ...

I need some feedback from other npub1q7aqcs8hpvk9nrhceprnau7enj2zr3fe9rdpp6c39jzd9l7js46q309xsc (npub1q7a…9xsc) and npub1jux42tw4lcq273e34zymuvq6gc0s9vepckld4654vw73s8muyqlsngpy33 (npub1jux…py33) folks on something I have mixed feelings on:

My boss posted a message this morning to all staff to share that it is npub1956gv3u5ejqhyrrns6xd9krfallennax6jyrzhq40krwz46nz6jqlpecry (npub1956…ecry), but used the following language:

"Also, March 31st is International Transgender Day of Visibility! We at <company> support transgenders and stand with transgenders. We know it is not an easy world, but here at <company>, you can be who you are without judgment. Love is all we need."

I'm the only trans person at our company, and I find the use of transgender as a noun to be offensive. Am I alone in this? Should I say something, or just let it go?

I think he is just very out of touch and not willing to learn about trans people on his own, and I don't know if it's my responsibility (or if I have the energy) to educate him and the rest of the staff. I really appreciate the sentiment of them celebrating the day, but the language he used just hit me wrong, I guess. What are your thoughts?
