Transgender fails to pass the torch

"I just thought I was gay because that's all I knew. Other than straight there was gay. There wasn't transsexual, ->-bleeped-<- or transgendered people or whatever you want to say."

-Nikki Araguz

This is something I have heard before from the "women of history" around my age who I have known. It's a common theme for us, one which I lay at the feet of the lover's quarrel between Paul McHugh and John Money. The outcome of the tantrum thrown by McHugh over the study of the transsexual phenomenon was that transsexual abruptly ended in 1979. For the next decade, there was no such thing as transsexual. This left a gap into which transgender emerged.
