Yes, the N-word is in the dictionary. And it actually defines it as an offensive slur. And there's plenty of words that are defined by that or as slang. But not transgendered. As long as we're on the subject, "gendered" is an acceptable form of gender. And gender is the root word in transgender.

And this stance of "we can't go by what the dictionary says" just because it does not support your viewpoint is just silliness.

But let's move past this for a bit and look at the bigger picture. The people in the transgendered community have a hell of a lot of struggles to deal with on a daily basis. If you've gotten to the point where your biggest struggles are the use of an "ed" at the end of a word or that there's a subsection in an online forum that isn't about you, I'd say you are far more lucky than the rest of the community.

It's sad that modern society has gotten to the point where it's constantly trying to find something to be outraged about. People preach about tolerance but then fail to show any of their own. Take a step back and look at what you're getting upset about. Does that "ed" really make an impact in your life? Does the existence of a sub forum cause you hardship? If you're honest with yourself, you know the answer is no. If you feel the answer is yes, I'd suggest you'd look hard at yourself to see what it is that's causing you to have such a negative outlook on life.
