yo sorry for jumping in here out of nowhere (i rarely comment on fs anymore but am now reading after DRINKING WITH FRIENDS!) but i see this explanation everywhere and it makes me quite angry.

transgender is an umbrella term. trans is an umbrella term. it has been for years. the asterisk is unnecessary and it irritates me when i see people saying that trans is not inclusive by itself.

trans with an asterisk is something that was invented in relation to internet searches. (you know, like when you search for a file on a computer for example, if you put an asterisk it pulls up many different options.) really it has been around for a much shorter time period than the term transgender itself, which originally encompassed non-binary identities. "trans*" is a relatively new way of saying that non-binary identities are included in a category they have no reason to be excluded from, because "transgender" means that you are crossing the boundaries of gender in whatever established culture you belong to, including everything from transsexual people who are transitioning medically (with hormones/surgery) to habitual crossdressers who have no intention of a medical transition and may or may not experience gender dysphoria.

tldr; the asterisk/snowflake/anus is dumb as fuck and no thank you.

look i dont use the asterisk when referring to myself either and i don't necessarily fit in the gender binary but this is the same kind of deal with bisexual/pansexual identities. some people think it's inclusive and others - generally nonbinary people - don't think it suits them, or have had bad experiences with people not being inclusive with it. even if there's some kind of "hard evidence" or general consensus that certain terms are inclusive, people sometimes find themselves faced with opposition that warrants their personal use of the asterisk. you might think it's an unnecessary addition but tell that to the people who find it necessary for their own description.
