Gonna be honest, I don’t give a fuck about your personal nostalgia or whatever. There is simply no need to give JK Rowling a single cent of money or a single ounce of cultural capital to bankroll her genocidal anti-trans politics.
Trouble is, 'trans' isn't an adjective. 'Trans woman' is a compound noun meaning 'man who wants to be considered a woman.' If the individual being described isn't trans, he's simply a man, whereas a bespectacled woman remains a woman even if she's not wearing glasses.

Trans in common parlance is therefore a contraction.
