But is it so egregious one isn’t even allowed to ask what it means if one doesn’t know?.. I knew what a transvestite was but I didn’t know what a trap was. Sure am glad I wasn’t such a jerk as to ask for clarification.
How could you know what a transvestite is and then not know what is meant by a trap, just on context alone?
But for those who are still confused.

Defamatory: “deceptive,” “fooling,” “pretending,” “posing,” “trap,” or “masquerading”
Gender identity is an integral part of a person’s identity. Do not characterize transgender people as “deceptive,” as “fooling” or “trapping” others, or as “pretending” to be, “posing” or “masquerading” as a man or a woman. Such descriptions are inaccurate, defamatory and insulting. (See “passing” and “stealth” as problematic terms above.)
