I\'ve noticed a few typos and I would like to fix them (but the \"Playable Characters\" section seems locked, and as such i\'m left unable to fix it. The two typos i\'ve spotted are these \"Cool, huh? I guess that\'s just the way I am... sorry.\" \"Hell Gigas\" and \"Hell Masker\". It should be \"Cold, huh? I guess that\'s just the way I am... sorry.\" \"Death Gigas\" and \"Hellmasker\" as those are the corrected variants of them on Vincent\'s section.

\"Trans\" is a good alternative but usually only when the context is already clear. As a page name or anything like that, I personally wouldn\'t recommend it, but that\'s just me. It probably needs to be looked into more or discussed more with more people.

\"Transgendered\" adjective form is also considered wrong, to some offensive. It gives a connotation of being a disorder, and that the word \"transgender\" is a verb (thus giving unfortunate implications relating to physical transition, which the trans community wants to move away from) when it is already an adjective, so it isn\'t really necessary.

According to GLAAD, \"The word transgender never needs the extraneous “ed” at the end of the word. In fact, such a construction is grammatically incorrect.\"

I can see where the mistake can easily be made, and according to Joanne Herman, HuffPo, \"I have found that whenever “transgendered” is being used, it is usually by a person who is not transgender, or by an organization wanting to be inclusive of transgender people, but not yet having a transgender person involved.\"

It\'s not something you really know unless you\'re either trans yourself or very involved with the trans community enough to know these nuances, but for future understanding, it\'s generally considered to be the same as how, for example, people back in the 50s would say \"coloured\" but today we now say \"people of colour\". When it comes to \"transgendered\" vs \"transgender person\", we really don\'t mind the latter term; the former just has so many unfortunate implications.
