That reminds me that I almost cannot do anything without playing it as if it's a first impression, screwing it up, and hating myself for making a bad image later.
in my opinion you can say "hey I consider myself to be a female" and not have to break out dictionary.com to make your point,
much less attack others for not immediately realizing what your viewpoint and opinion even means to begin with

Bringing out word definitions can help for some people though, as they might not fully understand everything immediately (not everyone looks into this sort of stuff very much, a lot of words and definitions aren't widely recognized). Sort of as a "just in case" type of thing. It's good to expand your vocabulary anyway! I don't think anyone's using big words just for the sake of it.

I have to say, I can understand the way sb+b feels. Many of the terms get used inside contexts that are hostile against cis persons. Spend a week on tumblr and other parts of the internet with a high amount of opinion-based content and you'll see what I mean.
But then, I'm someone who judges romantic loveability on mostly personality and a lot less on gender or sexuality (I wouldn't call myself fully pan-romantic, though). And yes, that one does not match exactly with my sexual orientation.So maybe I just don't care enough about genders and sexes to really care about all those terms. Cisgirls and Transgirls are the same for me in all relevant ways.
