Mad Cat I don't really have much thoughts on your whole analysis but please be aware of your use of the words "transgendered" and "transgenderism" as those are inaccurate.

Why are they inaccurate? Please note, not arguing. I truly do not understand.

Transgendered in inaccurate because transgender is an adjective. Someone is a transgender person, not a transgendered person. Just liked some is a gay person, not a gayed person.
And for transgenderism I don't even know where the hell that term cropped up from. The only time I ever see it used is by terfs and right wing people talking about "the evil cult of transgenderism" or other similar nonsense. I think the "ism" is trying to make being trans on the line of feminism or socialism, like it's a political stance that you can argue against. When in reality it is more like a state of being or an experience with gender.
As opposed to "AI transgenderism" I think I would say something like "The AI trans experience" or even simply just "Transgender AI's"
Mad Cat:
I was referring to the concept of gender as I described how AIs experience it, therefore, it is appropriate to refer to May as transgendered relative to that, not however you think of the human experience of gender.
As to your policing of my use of langauge around the transgender concept…
I am trans.
Your move.

I think some may use the term "transgenderism" incorrectly to refer to simply being transgender. You're right, it sounds very weird, and offensive as well.
The "transgendered" thing reminds me of how some people use bisexual as a noun rather than an adjective.
Dandi Andi:
Me too!
And I agree with Spider that "transgendered" is considered impolite in certain circles since, to some people, it implies an affliction. But like a lot of language surrounding LGBTQ+ issues, firm standards of acceptability aren't set and I'm not bothered by the way you used the terms.
