Huh. Good point. My first reaction was, "Yeah, it is different." But then I got to thinking... and I tried it. Which went kind of like this: "I'm an American" - check. "I'm a Christian" - check. "I'm a transgender... American;" or "... Christian..." - it doesn't work

It's true that language evolves over time, and maybe someday I'll get there. But right now, for me - yeah, it is different.
