I'll keep it short. I'm working on this thing with a pretty big raster of gods (of all kinds). One of them (well, it manifests as a twin entity, but you get the idea) is the god of, as I put it, "anybody that isn't cis-gendered". So that includes transgendered, transsexual, all the trans folks, basically. Is that offensive, putting them all in one basket like that and slapping a deity on them? This seemed like the right place to ask (but to be honest, I haven't slept in a day or so, so my judgemental skills might not be at their best right now).

Considering that, in real life, a lot of issues relating to non-gender-normality get squashed under one blanket (The acronym "LGBT" itself is proof enough of this), I think it's fine, too.

Cool. Might put me at ease a bit more if some actual trans folks dropped in with their opinion.

[up][up] I see no problem with it and I'm trans, but I also use the word fag as another word for idiot.
