Transsex is not the same as [[transgender]]. Transgender people who don’t plan to physically transition would not be considered transsex. Additionally, not all transsex people are transgender. It should also be noted that not all transgender people that wish to transition reclaim the term transsex/transexxual. The term should not be applied to someone unless they express that they are fine with it. |
