I still don't know what it is. A She wanting to be a He, or a He wanting to be a She. Seen way to many "Pat" photos to keep up with it.
For the millionth time. You don't ever use the term it to refer to a human being. Its only an insult if you're referring to a human being.
Now, if you're wondering which pronoun to use, why not follow the recommendations of our medical professionals, which overwhelmingly endorse the use of the person's preferred pronoun. For Chelsea Manning, the correct terms are 'she' and 'her'.
You know, that one of the most telling parts of Jim Crow racism was the refusal of white supremacists to ever refer to African Americans by their last name. And sometimes even by their first name. It was never Mr or Mrs, but simply the first name. Or sometimes, just Boy or Girl. The refusal to provide the common courtesy of calling someone by their preferred name is deeply insulting and moreover, is meant to be insulting.
And if you've looked at Danica Patrick, you'd never know that she was born male.
Now if you're simply seeking to insult people for being Trans, like a fifth grade bully, then that's your business. But know that IT is never a proper term for a human being. Unless your sole contribution is to insult people, simply for existing and carry a clear sense of bigotry against them.

If you are unable to provide the common courtesy of using proper pronouns to describe Trans persons, then perhaps some of y'all could simply just stop commenting on Trans topics, as its pretty clear that some don't have the maturity to comment on these topics. Might I suggest you place a thread in the Wild West Spin Room or No Hold Barrred Spin Room where you can all get your rocks off laughing at calling Trans people any number of hateful names for the childish pleasure of some of y'all. No need to discuss the topic....Just throw out a bunch of Trannys and Shims and sHes and Its and laugh all day long like y'all have some awful tick or something
