Ways of Terminology

•         This week I found the Suggested Rules for Non-Transsexuals Writing about Transsexuals, Transsexuality, Transsexualism, or Trans___. very inspiring. Although the short passage seems only like a formatting and wording instruction, it shows at least academic respect for these people from our own perspective. When writing about other groups of people, we tend to study them like another kind of spices, which in this case can be very rude. Other than that, wording in unsatisfying ways can not only offer no help, but create more conflicts and misunderstanding. This can be traced back to the class we discussed about wording and labeling. If we write things for acknowledging only, we tend to make wording mistakes because of the lack of caring. When we do write things about something we want to know more about, things become a lot easier because that should be the right attitude. We need to remember that these things are to be read by trans people, too. Also, what we write set certain image for the group as others read it. That is why I would like to say that this instruction is not only for academic writing. It is also for journalists(as they tend to have impact on more people with only a few words) and for people whoever want to write about it.
• Moreover, as we are living in an interactive society, we should not be looking at them only. What we can do for them and how to make things right are more important because those are our objectives for getting to know people who are different from us. This is what makes the society develop. What's more, things sensitive in academic wise research can have bad affect caused by vicious circles. For example, when we write about crime and point out this person is trans or it is on trans people, it tends to be magnified. That's when people would get some invisible hint and make totalization. This kind of memory can cast fixed impression which can cause more totalization and even bad suspects. That is the least things we want if we want to minimize misunderstanding. 
• Sensitive as is, there are a lot of things we should be careful about when we study trans people, or any groups we are not so familiar with.
