Confused in translation

The Nation should update its vocabulary to be more appropriate to the times. Your article on "Sexy Pancake" begins with the term "a male transvestite".

This language is now considered derogatory and no longer in use. Niwat should be referred to as a transsexual, and it is likely that the correct pronoun should be “she”. The “T” in “LGBT” refers to transsexuals and not transvestites, which is a term that has been out of use in the West for years.
