Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Terminology (DEI) https://hr.uw.edu/diversity/transgender-resources/terminology/
Terms to Avoid Transgender is preferred over transvestite or transsexual, older terms which do not accurately describe all transgender people, and which also have a clinical or stigmatizing connotation. Terms such as she-male, he-she, “real” woman, “real” man, transgendered, “a transgender”, male-to-female, and female-to-male may also be viewed as stigmatizing or offensive. Transgender is correctly used as an adjective, not a noun or verb, thus “transgender people” is appropriate but not “transgenders” and “transgendered”. This public school left out one term, demonic, adjective.
