>Is irregardless a word?
>Yes. It may not be a word that you like, or a word that you would use in a term paper, but irregardless certainly is a word. It has been in use for well over 200 years, employed by a large number of people across a wide geographic range and with a consistent meaning. That is why we, and well-nigh every other dictionary of modern English, define this word. Remember that a definition is not an endorsement of a word’s use.
>We label irregardless as “nonstandard” rather than “slang.” When a word is nonstandard it means it is “not conforming in pronunciation, grammatical construction, idiom, or word choice to the usage generally characteristic of educated native speakers of a language.”
Holy shit, this word seems to cause extreme amounts of butthurt.

No, it is misleadingly meant to look like the adjective 'trans' applied to the noun 'women' -- this is a misnomer however, as it is usually said of men who erroneously think that they are women (ergo, they are not actually women). To avoid thinly veiled propaganda by means of ambiguous language the term 'transwomen' should be used instead.

Sure, let me walk you through this:
- A woman is an adult human female
- A transwoman is biologically a male and so isn't an adult human female, and so is not a woman
- 'Trans woman' is a noun phrase that means the same thing as transwoman
- To the uninitiated it looks like the adjective trans modifying the noun woman
- It is therefore misleading

>A woman is an adult human female
Wrong
>A transwoman is biologically a male and so isn't an adult human female, and so is not a woman
Yet you call them transwomen
> 'Trans woman' is a noun phrase that means the same thing as transwoman
So the distinction, which was pedantic to start with, is entirely pointless
>To the uninitiated it looks like the adjective trans modifying the noun woman
Which it is
It is therefore accurate

What's interesting here though is that you ascribe intent to certain word usage, when you yourself admit to preferring certain phrasings for express political purposes yourself. Seems likely to be projection on your part.

Think about how the word 'woman' relates to 'man'. It is literally the word man with a prefix that basically means 'wife'. If I were to reject transwomen on grounds of it being a prefix + a word that identifies the opposite gender to the underlying concept, I would have to reject the word 'woman' on the same grounds.
>So the distinction is pointless
No, for reasons I explained

>It is literally the word man with a prefix that basically means 'wife'.
That's not true, actually; the OE "wif" just meant woman, and "man" here is used in the general sense of "human".
>No, for reasons I explained
You didn't, really. You simply insisted on it.
>Transphobia is the neutral position.
That is a popular claim for very much non-neutral positions to make.

Alright, quite besides the point, which is that a word can have a meaning that isn't obvious from it's appearance if you only know its components (however, a noun phrase composed of words with well-defined meaning in English is different!)
>"Transphobia is the neutral position" is a popular claim for right-wing pundits to make
Go to any country that hasn't been touched by America's crusade of faggotry and observe exactly 0 individuals who believe that men can become women. Also go dilate while you're at it, I have better things to do than to argue ad nauseam with a guy who's going to ack within the next 5 years.

I fail to see how all of that isn't besides the point. "Trans woman" is a compound noun however you write it, and removing a space doesn't really add transparency or alter its meaning in any way.

Would you say that all women are, by definition, feminine? That every feminine person is a woman? That "feminine woman" is a tautology? If not, you have to admit there's a difference between "being feminine" and "being a woman".
