I need some feedback from other #trans and #nonbinary folks on something I have mixed feelings on:My boss posted a message this morning to all staff to share that it is #transdayofvisibility, but used the following language:"Also, March 31st is International Transgender Day of Visibility! We at <company> support transgenders and stand with transgenders. We know it is not an easy world, but here at <company>, you can be who you are without judgment. Love is all we need."I'm the only trans person at our company, and I find the use of transgender as a noun to be offensive. Am I alone in this? Should I say something, or just let it go?I think he is just very out of touch and not willing to learn about trans people on his own, and I don't know if it's my responsibility (or if I have the energy) to educate him and the rest of the staff. I really appreciate the sentiment of them celebrating the day, but the language he used just hit me wrong, I guess. What are your thoughts?

@thestrainingstudent Thank you for you reply and insight, cis opinions are still valid and appreciated!There is an HR Dept, but I don't think this warrants reaching out to them yet. We're a relatively small company so I'd rather handle it internally I think.I am gonna look for a link to some appropriate resources though, thanks for the suggestion!
