Oh, Pam, I wasn't offended. I just dislike the term. I'm not in the least bit offended by someone using it about me.

I just think it's an ugly word/prefix. Kind of clinical and reductive (obviously - that's the point of labels :p). Truly though, I'm not sure there's a better word to use in a conversation that necessarily draws a distinction between the two different experiences of gender.
