Finally there is an article that addresses the questions about the correct grammar when writing about transgender individuals and communities.

Read the Article at HuffingtonPost

The following was my reply:

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for finally putting article out about the correct grammar usage around transgender people. I too cringe with the misuse (abuse) of words around our existence. The recent popularity of “_______ is a transgender,” frustrates me to no end. I hope people will take notice and put it to good use.
