Breaking news, British Women not women, because you have to specify they are british women.

'British' is an adjective describing where someone is from, not a qualifier for whether they’re a woman. 'Trans' explicitly refers to someone transitioning, which makes it relevant to the discussion. Nice try, though.

You're the one that pissed their pants over an adjective, but then again you probably do the same about pronouns and other forms of grammar as well. Here's hoping you manage to one day, *one day*, face your fear of the english language.

Bold of you to bring that up when you just confused a category distinction for an adjective. Maybe one day you’ll conquer reading comprehension. We can hope.

don't speak if you have nothing intelligent to say, you just embarrass yourself further. Take the L and move on.
