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.
‘transsex’ is even better
Trvke, transsex is normal everyday use, transexual is when you want to spit venom
i get the historical appeal of transsexual and i can respect that but imo the lack of ambiguity in transsex is really valuable
This recently became my preference as well
