maize Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I often hear mention of IKEA instructions on this board. I don't get it, are IKEA directions notoriously difficult to understand? They are wordless, like Lego instructions. It is not always easy to interpret the meaning of the diagrams; I prefer instructions with both words and pictures, though I understand the international appeal of pictures only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luuknam Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 :huh: What does reading trans women mean? Personally, I don't think it's only trans *women*, but they do get 'read' more often. If someone reads you as trans(gender), it means you didn't pass, i.e. they noticed you're trans and not cis (cis meaning you're the gender assigned at birth, from Latin "on this side of", as opposed to trans, which means "across"). For examples of being read, try googling "read as trans" (with the quotes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
