Jargon and "Prince-isms"
Virginia Prince was quite the wordsmith!
- "GG", for "Genetic Girl", a term which is highly popular and regularly used within the TG community.

Criticism
Virginia was frequently criticized for being set in her ways and failing to adapt to evolving circumstances in the TG community and in life in general.
Virginia's management and leadership style was frequently criticized as well. She was regarded, both in professional and volunteer circles, as a hard-line detail-oriented hands-on manager. Although she was usually pleasant and personable in her interactions with associates, "my way or the highway" was the rule.
