transsexual
English
Alternative forms
- transexual (rare)
Etymology
Trans- +? sexual. Introduced to English along with transsexualism by David Oliver Cauldwell in 1949, based on the German word Transsexualismus coined by Magnus Hirschfeld in 1923. Popularized in the mid 1960s, around the same time that transgender was coined; transgender had become an umbrella term and largely but not entirely displaced transsexual by the 1990s.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /t?æn(z)?s?k?u?l/, /t?æn(z)?s?ksju?l/
Adjective
transsexual (comparative more transsexual, superlative most transsexual)
- (of a person) Having changed, or being in the process of changing, physical sex (because it does not match desired sex) by undergoing medical treatment such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and optionally sex reassignment surgery (SRS), or rarely only SRS.
Usage notes
- Although some authors distinguish transsexual (pertaining to physical sex) and transgender (pertaining to gender), transgender is generally taken to encompass transsexual and has largely displaced it; transsexual is now often considered outdated, although some people who have undergone SRS still prefer it; compare the usage notes at transgender. Neither term should be confused with transvestite (which see for more).
