  • Transsexual just means you’ve had some kind of trans related medical intervention (usually bottom surgery, but it can sometimes be used more broadly too). It’s not a flex word, or a word meant to make other people feel less, it’s just a descriptor that some folx prefer to use. In general you shouldn’t be calling other people that unless you know for sure its something they are okay with, but people are free to call themselves whatever they want.

    I am one of many people who dislikes terms conflating gender with procedures & medications as gender has nothing to do with that, so I default to terms using sex (SRS, Transsexual, etc). It’s not perfect ofc, but there is precedent for that language so I think it’s okay for now.
