Being a trans EE student in the states, it really hurts every time I'm thoroughly enjoying one of dave's vids and out of nowhere such a hateful and vitriolic word gets thrown around so casually. As a word for transistor, I've never heard it used in the US, but is everyone aware of how awful it feels to be called something so dehumanizing? I'd like to believe that most people are well-intentioned and don't realize what kind of hurt it causes, and it seems so obvious to me, but is it purposeful? Don't mean to stir up drama but no other EE channel on youtube talks like that, and it really bothers me.
