I wasn't saying I know everything, and I wasn't saying I have the most experience out of everyone here. I was saying in my experience knowing people with a variety of gender identities, sexual orientations, situations, conditions, etc., most dislike words associated with their position/condition/etc., and prefer others. An example would be some intersex people I know (Including the person I mentioned above) dislike and take offense to the word "hermaphrodite" and prefer the term "intersex". I also don't think that a person that isn't of a certain group can decide what isn't offensive for that group (Such as, a straight person saying that "fa**ot" isn't offensive, or a person who isn't intersex saying "hermaphrodite" isn't, or a cisgender person saying that "tranny"/"chick with a dick" isn't offensive towards transgender people).
Sorry for the little rant/paragraph/whatever
