Cross posting here as a Transsexual.

Love the word Transsexual (noun)! Should be used more! By its’ definition it is accurate and speaks the truth to those that are Transsexuals!! Check out the DSM5 to learn the current context of this word. It’s not outdated except by those drink the current ‘narrative cool aid’. The current SOC8 does not properly pay respect to those that are Transsexual! Why they do not, I can only speculate. Respect transsexuals by using the term correctly when referring to transsexuals! Having gender dysphoria is no joke and can be deadly! To some the term ‘transsexual’ has some weird ‘social’ and or ‘pornographic’ connotation. To label a transsexual individual incorrectly I find insulting.

Transsexual:  An individual who seeks or has undergone, a social transition from male to female or female to male, which in many, but not all cases may also involve a somatic transition by cross-sex hormone treatment and genital surgery (‘sex reassignment surgery’).
