A Lesson In Transgender Terminology

Transgender is the new black. Just kidding, but thanks to celebrities like Caitlyn Jenner and Laverne Cox, transgender issues are getting some of the attention they deserve. But just because we’re spending more time on them doesn’t mean people know what they’re talking about. That also means that from their naive ignorance, people are unintentionally being very offensive.

Funny or Die is here to save the day by creating a video that both entertains and schools us in the proper trans terminology and grammar.

Mad Men‘s Jared Harris comically steps in on a cisgender couple’s breakfast conversation to help educate them on how to best speak about Caitlyn Jenner without being insulting.
Watch and learn, kids. Watch and learn.
