Transsexual the very word is so loaded with stereotypes and fetishsizing connotations; of a chick with a dick or man transitioning to be a woman or a woman who is trapped in a man's body amongst many others. It contrives my gender experience into a physical reality exclusively that exists both in difference to the controlling binary stereotype of men and women and yet made to conform to the rule of being exclusively either a man or a woman trying to be the opposite. The very word Transsexual cultivates my reality into a terminology created by psychologist who are at best profiteering witnesses to the experience.
