Transgender vs Transexual for transfeminine people (hexbear.net)

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?

I recognize the complexity of sex. That's why I use transsexual. It's a fuck you to the metaphysical liberals who effectively say I will never be a woman. I changed my sex before getting the surgery you know.

Edit: Sex in human society is a social relation. Hegemonic ideology hides this with post hoc biological justification. Of course they do this. They are 1. Enforcing their regime 2. Hostile to dialectical analysis. The use of essentialist, metaphysical theories on sex is ideological class warfare on gender minorities and effectively counterinsurgency against dialectical (effective, correct) thinking.
