The words "transsexual" and "sex change" were abandoned and changed to "transgender" and "gender affirming care" as an attempt to capitulate to conservatives who said sex can never be changed. Now "transgender" is being rejected because supposedly "gender and sex are the same thing" or "gender isn't real". If we came up with an entirely new word to describe the phenomenon, the goal posts would move to reject that one as well.The change from transsexual to transgender wasn't woke. It was transphobic. Attempts to justify transgender as a more inclusive term were revisionist woke transphobia. We should have never appeased the transphobes.
We changed it because people associated transexuality with homosexuality like a sexuality like some people thought (Blanchard)
>me, when i make stuff up for fun
trvke we need to have a separate movement from the non-dysphorics and cissexuals
>>45306367so glad we have an illiterate to misinterpret history in order to post pure garbage. A step up from just twat posting
im ngl i agree it was fake woke
Regardless of the why of the original change, I think we need to have separate terminology like transsexual to differentiate between people medically transitioning and those not, because our struggles and the issues important to us are different than those who only transition their presentation
>>45306367>as an attempt to capitulate to conservatives who said sex can never be changed.no, conservatives didn't care or think about trannies in the slightest except for "she used to be a he" jokes on a sitcom. which were taken in stride because SRS was viewed completely as a way to change your sex by everyone. The actual reason the change was undertaken was that non-transitioning transvestites at the behest of jewish feminists like butler wanted to subvert and destroy transness from within.
