First, add my voice to the "Nomad is discriminating? HA!" chorus.
Secondly, I don't see how mentioning "men" and "women" as discriminating against transgendered people. I am not trans, but as far as I know someone who is trans believes that the body they are in has the wrong gender and want to transform into the other one.
I would expect the people who would be offended are the "gender queer" or "gender fluid" folks who don't consider themselves to be a particular gender. I have to admit that, as liberal as I am, I have a hard time understanding the GQ folks as I equate gender to physiology, not a "state of mind". I can express my feminine side but that does not mean I am not male.
I guess I need to have some long (or maybe short) talks with GQ folks so I can better understand the concept.
