Usage notes
- The term transgender was coined in 1965 and popularized in the late 1970s, and by the 1990s it had largely displaced the older, narrower term transsexual. Transsexual is now often considered outdated although some people still prefer it; see its entry for more. Neither term should be confused with transvestite (which see for more).
