What are your opinions on using transgender vs using transexual? Ive been seeing more trans feminine people use transexual to refer to themselves these days and I thought I had it figured out but im confused.
Originally, how i saw it was transphobic dolls trying to distance themselves from the rest of the transgender community at large. But the more i read about trans theory and talk to trans women, im finding more and more "cool" trans women calling themselves transexuals.
What am I missing?
One thing I dislike about "transgender" is it seems to imply one is changing one's gender, where many trans people see their gender as staying the same as its always been and they're changing their sex to match their gender.
Personally, not a fan of either term and rather just use "trans" and sorta hope we come up with better alternatives to both eventually.
