This term may be offensive to trans people.
[edit]As per Pink News: "Transsexual is a term that has fallen out of favour among most trans people.
It used to mean transgender people who have, or want to, use medical intervention – hormones or surgery – to permanently transition from the gender assigned at birth to the one they identify as.
Many trans people reject the word, some because having that word “sex” in the middle of it may suggest that being trans is all about sexuality, rather than gender identity.
Some trans people are happy to be called “transsexual”. Some will reject the word “transgender”. But it’s best to stick to the latter unless they tell you otherwise."
Of course, it's up to whether trans people want to use this term or not, but it's use in medical history is problematic as pathologising people and it's overemphasis on 'sexuality'. Can this data item be removed in this form or refined to include the nuances of its usage? YoulendreeAppasamy (talk) 14:13, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
