    It varies in practice. Most people I see using identify, including many trans people, are well-intentioned and think it’s the preferred polite language without thinking too hard on the implications of it.

    However there are definitely anti-trans people who will use it pejoratively, which I presume is where that wording originated.

      If it’s a minority (of people) using it that way they I don’t think they can claim it.
