thinking about how many afab she/they nonbinary girls insert themselves into “trans discourse” and direct their anger about gender stuff toward “cis people”

the original story is interesting! in 1961 a woman called sheila michaels was looking for a term that would not dictate a woman’s marital status and saw printed in a newspaper a typo of “miss” (or perhaps mr), that said ‘ms’. she tried to advocate for it to be a term but in the beginning wasn’t very successful. but then in 1969, a friend of the feminist legend gloria steinem heard about this new term and told gloria, who then used it as the title of her new magazine, which was the first american feminist magazine. from there, the popularity boomed, it became widely used, and just a few years after that, the government approved it for use on documents.
