For the past few months, I've made available a number of never-before-considered documents that reviewed the true roots of the word "transgender".
The Myth
The term "transgender" was coined by a heterosexual crossdresser chauvinist who hated transsexual people, Virginia Prince. The term was explicitly created to refer to other heterosexual crossdressers like Prince.

The Myth
The term "transgender" was coined by a heterosexual crossdresser chauvinist who hated transsexual people, Virginia Prince. The term was explicitly created to refer to other heterosexual crossdressers like Prince. Therefore, if you refer to a transsexual person as being a "transgender" person, you are literally calling that transsexual person a crossdresser – which is offensive!
Strange that.
In the 50-60's if 'men' wore female clothes they were cross dresses or ->-bleeped-<-s. If 'they' wanted to change 'sex' they were transsexual. Which I think was how woman who had undergone surgery were referred to. I never realised TG was supposed to be insulting. I thought it was to clarify,Oh well.
I do see an increasing use in medical terms of XY-female and XX-male. Which to me is more logical.
Cindy an Xy-female
And what is supposed to be derogatory about Prince? One of the few men I might go straight for! #2 after Sean Connery of course!
Daniel Craig?
Hugh Grant, George Clooney, Pierce Brosnan?
Suzan is the revisonist, not Christan.
