And yet, it's rare that names go the other way (once a name goes pink, people never rethink!). I suspect this just might have a tiny something to do with why "girl" seems to have such staying power as a term of insult between young boys.

I transitioned when the "disorder" model of GID was still in vogue, and then sort of disappeared away from trans and feminist spaces for a long while.
