Transexual doesn’t water down transition the way transgender does.

Transexual has more aura, like it’s a word you can really spit, it’s a word that you can savor every syllable of.

Try it, pretend it’s year of our Lord 1980, and spit out that word, drawing out the S, and spit it out like fire 🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥. Now try the same for transgender… You can’t.

The word “darling” also has aura, but it’s too drag queen coded for everyday use.

    Transgender = “I used t-to be a boy b-but now I identify as a d-demigirl and w-w-would like y-you to use ‘s-she/they’ pronouns f-for me p-p-p-please”

    Transsexual: “I’m a woman who underwent a sex change. I don’t ‘identify’, I know what I am- a biological woman.”

    I think of transexual but I don’t think it really matters and most won’t get it

      Its like it just doesn’t matter y’know? Like I guess my bottom dysphoria is probably worse than a lot of people, and I’m pretty crushed I’ll never be fully a cis woman and I hate being trans, but I’m never gonna be superior to people who aren’t that wat so what do I care. It just seems like clinging to semantics to grasp at straws to make oneself feel better…like in the perception of random cis society we’re all the same anyway they only care what you look like and that’s all up to luck not your level of crippling dysphoria vs teehee I love being a tran girlie!!!

        it really doesn’t matter, yeah. i like transsexual because it’s what I grew up identifying with more and it is more accurate to my views of sex, but it’s true that no cis person actually cares about the distinction.

    Transsexual does have more aura but I dont call myself that because while I do have bottom dysphoria, I dont plan on getting phallo. Therefore no sex change

    I’d have to get a lot better very fast for me to get it
