Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

Additionally, is there a word for “queer” which also encapsulates gender non conforming folks?

[dusky shuttle]

Wordreference has "famille choisie", "famille d'élection"
For queer it's just "queer"

[vestal sedge]

if you wish to specify like “I’m a non-conforming person” then you could say “Je m'identifie comme non conforme au genre.” ou “je suis une personne au genre non conforme »

[dusky shuttle]

I've never heard that from a queer person personally

Additionally, is there a shortening of transgenre? I heard it’s the same as it is in English but I can’t tell if it sounds awkward to me because it’s wrong or because I’m not used to it
-# sorry to ping whoops I forgot some people might not like that

[vestal sedge]

i’ve never heard it in real life, but there are many podcasts that get advertised to me as YouTube ads and they say shit like that

[dusky shuttle]

In french it's fine to say trans as an adjective, it's also fine to say "un(e) trans" as a noun
