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 wish i could say that with such confidence as a transsexual
Me too but transgender implies that confidence cant even exist for me
