By a factor of 20:1 (N=136) trans people prefer the adjective “trans” instead of “transgender”. It's what I prefer too, I'm glad to have back up.
To my trans siblings: Which word do you prefer? What's a better word to describe our community and group? [ ] Trans [ ] Transgender [ ] (another option) [ ] I am cis

So if #Canada were to officially give the United States an exonym like "somethingelseastan", then according to Google's stated rules they would add it as a parenthetical expression to #googlemaps .
I'm sure folks can think of a good #exonym.

It also reminds very much of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's 'I Became Black in America'.
"I became Black in America.... In Nigeria, I was Igbo and Roman Catholic ...",
"First of all, I wasn’t black until I came to America. I became black in America.
Growing up in Nigeria, I didn’t think about race because I didn’t need to think about race."
