I think the first stage is shock. And for us, shock still happens. But, for at least the first month, is I kept waiting for Matthew to come in the door. Go, "When's my son going to walk in?" I just couldn't believe that it happened. It was so sudden.
--Rick, cis-male

And I don’t do a lot of political things like I use to. I think some of it is disillusionment but some of it also is like what you said you know. Ok that’s cool if we could get married. That would be great. However, it would even better if we could just walk down the street without getting shot. You know there are things that are much more important than other things

TGM -- emotional language
If they say they really feel like, you know,
their gender identity is a problem, a birth defect that needs to be
corrected, I think that’s very sad.
![Page 46: TRANSMEN, TRANSWOMEN & TALK KRISTEN PRECHT-BYRD, PH.D. KENT STATE UNIVERSITY kprecht@kent.edu.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062621/551bd24b550346b9588b5554/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
what this means if you are a transman …To sound more masculine:
• Use fewer hedges (maybe, I think, somewhat, etc.)
• Use fewer adjectives and positive emotion words
Match your/your client’s language to men you want to emulate: BALANCE
![Page 47: TRANSMEN, TRANSWOMEN & TALK KRISTEN PRECHT-BYRD, PH.D. KENT STATE UNIVERSITY kprecht@kent.edu.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062621/551bd24b550346b9588b5554/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
what this means if you are a transwomanIn emotional contexts with other
women:• use more emotional language• make more judgements about
things• hedge/amplify more• use politeness markers
![Page 48: TRANSMEN, TRANSWOMEN & TALK KRISTEN PRECHT-BYRD, PH.D. KENT STATE UNIVERSITY kprecht@kent.edu.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062621/551bd24b550346b9588b5554/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Context• more feminine language with other
women, close family• less feminine language in mixed
company, at work
BALANCE masculine and feminine language
![Page 49: TRANSMEN, TRANSWOMEN & TALK KRISTEN PRECHT-BYRD, PH.D. KENT STATE UNIVERSITY kprecht@kent.edu.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062621/551bd24b550346b9588b5554/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
nature vs nurture
Nature for Emotion, Negative Judgement & Politeness?
Nurture for Positive Judgement & Amplifiers?
What about Hedges?

future directions
We need more research on transwomen
Research is completely anonymous and would take a couple hours of time.
If you would be willing to be interviewed or have clients who might be interviewed, please give me your name and and info or email me and I’ll send you information.
