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?

Just a funny little quirk that is worth commenting on: my very argument that people are often unable to self-identify because the larger mainstream has decided that their personal identifiers are "offensive" has been demonstrated by the website's slur-filter.

The slur filter has always been a blunt instrument. Something something chapomix

Edit: chapomixWhen Chapo.chat emerged as a site half a year ago, filled with ideas and hopes for their users and their site, the users and mods discovered a very awful thing.

And it wasn’t about themselves, even though they had to do it to themselves. It was about that reactionary encirclement. They discovered that they needed mods. They discovered that they needed ruthless mods. Because all around them coming in from multiple sites and within their own userbase were acts of sabotage, transphobia, attack, racism, and the like.

And they understood that if the site was going to survive, they would have to build up instruments of mod power, instruments that were controversial even.

And these instruments, by the way, can make mistakes, and these instruments can not only make mistakes they can ban innocent users and utilize their mod powers excessively.

If there had been no invasion, if there had been no espionage, if there had been no attack, if there had been no Stupidpol brigade leaving reactionary comments, there wouldn’t have been a purge of the users. If there hadn’t had been a Cumtown raid, there wouldn’t have been a user purge. And to lose sight of that fact is to lose sight of an essential force in what was going on over those few months.
