Transgender and transsexual categories[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: rename using "Transgender" as nominated. A minority of editors suggested new sub-categories for transsexual people, but these should not be implemented without further discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject LGBT studies, because several of those participants are new WP:SPAs and some have already been blocked. Another minority supported using "Trans", but did not address how to distinguish the topic categories e.g. Category:Trans men from the set categories which are nominated here. – Fayenatic London 21:00, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: "Transsexual" is a largely outdated term and maybe even borderline offensive to some. Transgender is the contemporary, broadly used umbrella term for all trans people, including people who call themselves transsexual. Even most articles concerning individual people on Wikipedia, such as List of transgender people or List of transgender political office-holders, do not include "transsexual" in the title. Renaming these clunky categories is long overdue. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 03:49, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment, an obvious counter argument is that some people in these categories self-identified as transsexual, but that argument is not strong enough for me to oppose this proposal. Nominator has a fair point too. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:29, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • (edit conflict) Support – per nom. This is generally fine, especially wrt umbrella-ness of the term transgender.

  • Support. At the time this tree was first developed almost 20 years ago, the typical usage of these words was somewhat different than it is now — there was more of a distinction applied in the past between "transsexual" (people who had actually transitioned) and "transgender" (all forms of gender-variant behaviour, including drag and Joan of Arc, even if it was purely situational and temporary), but that's definitely not the way the words are used today and Wikipedia should keep up with the evolution. Renaming them is indeed long overdue; the only reason I've been avoiding listing them for renaming myself is because of the sheer daunting size of the batch job involved, so I thank the nominator for taking it on. I have, however, made one small adjustment to one of the nominated categories; as formulated when I saw this, it was proposed to rename Category:Transgender and transsexual lawyers to Category:Transgender and transsexual lawyers, i.e. to do absolutely nothing, instead of the clearly intended Category:Transsexual lawyers that would actually fit the rest of the proposal, so I've modified that. Bearcat (talk) 11:00, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. There definitely are still some holdout old school self-described transsexuals who aren't fond of the "transgender" label, but "transsexual" is still normally understood to be a subset of "transgender" (for instance, it appears there is consensus at transsexual that we can describe it that way), or sometimes even an outdated word not to be used. Either way condensing the category name down makes sense. Endwise (talk) 11:37, 3 April 2022 (UTC) Amended below[reply]
  • Support just "trans", largely per Tamzin and the similar compromises we've made at trans woman and trans man. Endwise (talk) 05:58, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support "transgender", oppose just "trans". I oppose the idea that "Transsexual" is a largely outdated term. But it looks like redundant. Sharouser (talk) 13:31, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Why not simply trans? If they are distinct concepts, then trans is inclusive of both. If they are two terms for the the same concept, then trans is a shorter term that means the same thing. It's already widely used and understood as shorthand for transgender: for example, when you type it into dictionary.com, that's the definition it gives.[1]. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 15:02, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @JasonAQuest: While I like that idea and use it for myself, I think for Wikipedia purposes we need to spell the word out fully, as "trans" can refer to a number of other things. Funcrunch (talk) 15:10, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Agreeing with Funcrunch here; otherwise, one ends up with counter-proposals of "trans*" and possibly others. Mathglot (talk) 05:06, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support with a recommendation that a note be put on the top-level category that some people in this category identify (or identified if no longer living) specifically as transsexual. As others have noted, the term transsexual is still favored by some trans folks. Funcrunch (talk) 15:10, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Having read the various arguments for simply using "trans" I would now also be OK with this option, with a note on the category page explaining that it is an abbreviation that can mean either "transgender" or "transsexual". But I think a new proposal/CfD would need to be posted for discussion on this option. Funcrunch (talk) 06:21, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – but with a caveat: erasing transsexuals from the gender dialog has become commonplace, and it doesn't take a psychic to see that there's no way to prevent their existence from being removed from these categories; so the caveat is what User:Funcrunch has suggested: include a note that "some people in this category identify (or identified if no longer living) specifically as transsexual". If transsexuals cannot be acknowledged with a notation, I withdraw my support. Pyxis Solitary (yak). L not Q. 09:44, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    We would probably want to go with "may identify [...] specifically as transsexual" as some/most of those categories probably contain zero such people. But I would support a disclaimer like that. Endwise (talk) 10:13, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I am also in support of this. Transgender encompasses people who use the term transsexuals. This avoids the medical gatekeeping of saying in order to be trans you need to be a transsexual and in order to be transsexual you have to have already gone through a full transition. Considering those people are transgender along that entire span of transition, it makes sense to use it as the umbrella category. All transsexual people realize they are a different gender before they transition. For reference I'm a trans woman, I am on HRT, but my insurance is a nightmare and I can't currently afford to become a "true transsexual". I also understand for many the word transsexual is a point of pride to have survived fully transitioning, so including the disclaimer is great. ZonKonigin (talk) 23:08, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Well no, that's not how I see it. I see transsexual as the diagnosis. I'm a 19 y/o preop. That being said, I have sex dysphoria and so I am transsexual, I am undergoing the process to change my sex. I am not and never will be "transgender" because this is not and never has been about "gender". Transsexual, to me, is defined by the diagnosis, not by the treatment being done. FlowerGirl246 (talk) 19:16, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Great suggestion. I wholeheartedly agree. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 04:15, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I oppose exclusion or complete deprecation of the term "transsexual" throughout Wikipedia, though. We have separate Wikipedia articles, transsexual and transgender, so both terms have valid uses. I recognize that transsexual is becoming a dated term in the English speaking media environment but it was an activist term of choice in living memory for the Western world, and is still a term used for some communities. I agree with others that if we remove the term "transsexual" it is because we are making the assessment that nearly people identifying as or said to be transsexual people also meet definitions of transgender. When appropriate, the biographies of anyone with this category may clarify that they used a different label. Errors are okay to acknowledge and discuss when they occur.

    In light of the discussion and disruption since I !voted I'd just like to clarify a few things about my !vote: I still support the original proposal. I lament the disruptive and seemingly dishonest behaviour that has rightly led to some SPAs being blocked. I am neutral on the categories being renamed to "trans" instead of "transgender". I don't see the need but if it helps keep the peace then I don't object. I do oppose the creation of separate categories named "transsexual". I think that some, but not all, of the advocacy for the term "transsexual" seems to be intentionally disruptive. Ignoring that, even when advanced in good faith, I don't think the argument for separate categories is persuasive. The transsexual article says "The term transsexual is a subset of transgender" and I think that this is enough to prove a second set of categories unnecessary. I have no objection to a clarifying note being placed on the categories to acknowledge that they may include people who identify as transsexual in addition to, or even instead of, identifying as transgender.

    Qqroads - I understand that you have personal thoughts and feelings behind this discussion and proposal, but we need do our best to put our personal feelings aside, discuss this in a fair and neutral mindset and tone, and only take into account as to whether or not this proposed change improves the encyclopedia. Remember what we are here to do; personal feelings and emotions only degrade such discussions from being able to conclude successfully. Please know that I am not trying to be dismissive or insensitive to your feelings in any way. I don't want to even give the impression that I might be implying that your feelings are not important and that they do not matter; this is absolutely not the case. All I ask is that you perhaps re-evaluate your response, or perhaps consider stepping back if you don't feel like you can discuss this neutrally. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:02, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • ~Oshwah~ - Thank you, it is easy to get passionate about things personal to one's life experiences, so forgive the overly emotional vote. in order to take a more neutral stance, I did some additional research into the usage of these terms and I would like to bring up that the distinction between the usage of Transsexual or Transgender is largely a demographic one. In addition to the fact that the term Transsexual is more common among older generations, there are certain regions where Transsexual is more commononly used than Transgender. Brazil for example has significantly more Google searches for Transsexual than Transgender. However, I did also find that in nearly all countries the usage of the term "trans" in Google searches vastly dwarfs both the terms transgender and transsexual. Therefore I propose if the changes are to be made to shorten the titles of these articles and yet remain as accessible as possible in terms of SEO, I believe replacing the phrasing "Transgender and Transsexual" with "Trans" would do a better job of satisfying both goals. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Qqroads (talk • contribs) 05:53, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And am adding this link to an essay to explain that there is currently a political effort to erase transsexual as a category and silence transsexuals as a population, so as to privilege non-gender-dyphoric people who wish to be considered transgender and non-binary https://sillyolme.wordpress.com/2020/09/14/the-silent-transsexual/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by DisplayGeek (talk • contribs) 22:51, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Anything outside of that only degrades the discussion and makes it harder for participants to stay focused as well.

  • Support I am a trans woman who experiences dysphoria and I've undergone hormonal, social, and surgical transition. The term Transgender is intended to encapsulate the experiences of Transsexuals, not be different from or exclusive of them. Susan Stryker's Transgender_History_(book) contains a history of the term and the broader trans community accepts its use. The use of transsexual over transgender (insisting you are a transsexual and not transgender) has a political element, as above user DisplayGeek notes. The purpose of this use is to delegitimize some trans people, including people who undergo hormonal, surgical, and social transition, by claiming they're not truly transsexual, just engaging in transvestic fetishism. DisplayGeek is the author of a book & blog that attempts to do that (which she linked). I would advise not paying mind to people who say they are transsexual, but not transgender, as they don't reflect the larger consensus of the community, and largely try to draw said distinction as a way to invalidate the identities of others.

  • Oppose; Neutral. Support using Trans man/woman where possible. The current titles don't strike me as problematic. I'm perfectly happy to let transsexual go the way of the dodo (alongside Asperger syndrome and mental retardation, and other such DSM-isms), but it is nonetheless a label that a handful of biography subjects in this category insists on (only example I could find was Buck Angel). Including both terms avoids that controversy, at the expense of slightly obtuse category titles. There is apparent consensus for describing subjects (both transsexual and transgender) as trans people, so I would support changing the set of categories which specifically use the phrase "Transgender and transexual men/women" to use "trans" instead (e.g. Category:Trans women, Category:Trans men musicians).

  • Comment. The Oxford English Dictionary is pretty up to date for those of you who want more solid footing than unilateral assertions. Quoting from "transgender". Oxford English Dictionary (Online ed.). Oxford University Press. (Subscription or participating institution membership required.), last updated in March 2022:
On transgender as an adjective (sense A1):

Designating a person whose sense of personal identity and gender does not correspond to that person's sex at birth, or which does not otherwise conform to conventional notions of sex and gender.
Although now typically used as an umbrella term which includes any or all non-conventional gender identities, in wider use transgender is sometimes used synonymously with the more specific terms transsexual or transvestite.

On transgender as a noun (sense B1):

A transgender person; (sometimes) spec. a person who is transsexual or transvestite. Also occasionally (with the and plural agreement): transgender people as a class.

If there are reliable, due sources that distinguish it, I would consider changing to Oppose. Other reasons shared for opposing seem to drift into righting great wrongs or even the fringe anti-gender movement. Using "trans" instead would also seem fine to me. It may not be used as commonly outside of LGBTQ+ communities, but we can fairly easily explain that on the category page, and we do have pages like trans woman that explain the term. Politanvm talk 14:26, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Most people who consider ourselves transsexual do so BECAUSE of our viewpoint that "transgender" is insulting, inaccurate, and political, and that our issue is that of a medical condition not one of "identity". Therefore to include us under the "umbrella" is not correct. Yes, I'd be fine if we just agree on "trans". I think the context makes it obvious what is being said.
    And yes I'm against "gender" because it doesn't exist, it was made up by John Money to keep transsexualism as a psychological illness and to support nurture over nature theory. I don't think this viewpoint is fringe. Dakota Allie L. (talk) 17:14, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    As someone who does a lot of work on Wikipedia writing about the doctors and conversion therapists who were involved in the early history of trans care, I very much understand your disapproval of John Money (I updated his page to detail some of the awful experiments he carried out) and the concept of our "gender" changing instead of our body/sex changing to match our internal sense of self. However, in terms of babies and bathwater, John Money also created the term sexual orientation. You're absolutely correct his original idea was that a person's "gender identity" was a purely social construct based in nurture, that could be shaped and changed with parental/sociological input, but that was disproved by his own experiments and all later ones, which showed that despite his attempts to change a person's "gender"/"gendered sense of self" (as with Reimer), a person seems to be born with a "gender" which will cause them dysphoria if misaligned with their body/sex. While gender, like race, is a social construct (an arbitrary divider we create based off observable features and stereotypes) and we're all simply human, social constructs are still real and we feel their consequences in the real world. Gender became an important analytical tool of feminism since it gave a language for shared humanity not based on seemingly permanent innate divide between "types" of people but between cultural constructions of them. While "female" and "male" sexes exist for simple example (no time for a full intersex accounting), the simple maleness/femaleness doesn't cause sexism or oppression, but how we group people into categories based on their assigned sex at birth as "gender." More than that, different genders exist across different cultures anyways, often more than our 2. With trans people, while we may biologically be who we are just as much as cis people, also just like everyone else we are pulled into gender in some way or another and have to grapple with it. We're more than medical diagnoses, while there are biological causes for trans, intersex, and cis people being most comfortable in a "male" or "female" body or anywhere in between, we still see the effects of that in the world as gender. As a trans woman, I was born a biological/neurological woman and I'll die one, the fact the wrong chromosome got swapped and the doctors said I was a boy notwithstanding. Who I was internally didn't change, I just stopped hiding her and soon after started hormones. While I used to be gendered as a boy I'm now gendered a girl because that's how people see/read and treat me based off my appearance. My internal sex and sense of self, the various chromosomes and genes involved with it that made me a woman, never changed, I just got a little help with a hormone problem.

    My internal sense of self never changed, my sex/genes didn't change, but how people gender me changed. I've always been a woman, the only change was in people recognizing it.

TheTranarchist (talk) 19:25, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Dakota Allie L.
    This seems like a linguistic misunderstanding of how the pre-fix trans is used in both transgender and transexual. Yes trans means on the other side of, but it does not imply the action of change.
    Transgender (meaning of the other gender) provides a distinction of who the person is comparative to their at birth sexual characteristics . In other words you are a different gender than what was expected considering external biology (ie gender assigned at birth). Transsexual, the way that you are using it currently, used to refer to the same situation, but just swap the internal representation (gender) and the external representation (sex). However transexual has been adopted to mean those who have "changed their sex". However sex is similarly loosely defined when compared to gender. Sex can refer to a brains sex hormone preference (often contributing largely to gender), brain sex characteristics (which are often mosaic even in cis people), primary sex characteristics, secondary sex characteristics, hormonal makeup, gonad production, and chromosomes. The majority of these factors are not binary, though they tend to be bimodal. A person (cis, trans, or non-binary) might have any combination of these. What distinguishes a trans person (including non-binary people) is an acknowledgement of the mismatch between the brains expectations for how their body should be and/or how they should be perceived conflict with how their body is and/or how they are perceived. This conflict, and its possible associated pain is what we refer to as dysphoria. Body conflict causes physical dysphoria, perception conflict causes social dysphoria. When we use the phrase 'identifies as' (although I hate this phrase myself) what we are saying is this person is acknowledging their brains internal representation, which is encoded into them biologically. They are not 'choosing' to identify as a given gender, what they chose was to come out and be clear of who they are, just as you probably did. There is a clear distinction through using the word transgender, as it allows acknowledgement of the internal representation, instead of having to 'earn' its acknowledgement.
    I understand why people who use the term transsexual get upset. Y'all often, though not always (especially because gender became an American 'culture war' topic), had to fight to get that internal representation acknowledged and/or accepted probably through surgical means (though I'm not sure especially considering your age). I applaud your victory over that. I'm still fighting an antagonistic medical system to try to get bottom surgery myself (to finally exile myself of my crippling bottom dysphoria). I get why getting to the other side of a tough journey of trying to get people to see who you are would make it frustrating for others to have an easier time being accepted. It sucks that trans people have had to deal with this awful nightmare of transphobia and dysphoria, but I think we should appreciate (as jealous as we may be) that those coming after us will have an easier time.
    This is all not to mention that transexual is not a scientific term, and has just as dubious origins. It does not legitimize your cause, because its based in fitting a mold.
    If a trans person is born with looks that are strongly associated with their birth sex, and/or can't get access to or afford hormones, hair removal, sex reassignment surgery, and/or any other 'gender-affirming' surgeries/treatments would you still call them a transexual?
    What if they couldn't dress the way they wanted or come fully out of the closet due to imminent danger?
    If you were in that position, would you expect people to acknowledge you as a transexual?
    What are the rules that you are using to distinguish a transexual person from a transgender person?
    If a person was under any of the above circumstances they can still be called transgender. I have sincere doubts that they would be called transsexual.
    How do you know that you are transexual?
    If your answer is gender dysphoria (the official psychological term in the DSM-5, the most well-renowned of psychological diagnosis guides), the same is true for all trans people. While dysphoria can be used to mean pain associated with that brain conflict with body and perception, it also refers to the conflict itself. Sometimes dysphoria, especially in more conservative circles, in used to only refer to pain associated with the physical disconnect. However dysphoria manifests differently for everyone, sometimes its only through its positive cousin euphoria when acknowledged for who you are on the inside, sometimes it waxes and wanes, sometimes its focused only on specific physical characteristics and not others or certain social characteristics and not others. Are brains are complicated, and being trans, like every psychological illness, condition, profile, trait, etc. manifests differently in different people based off of genetic factors, in utero factors, and social factors. Even with a set biological genotype, there are a large range of possible phenotypes. Not everyone who is autistic or has ADHD has the same strengths, weaknesses, and quirks, not everyone who has a genetic predisposition for muscle growth will have the same levels of growth or same rates for each muscle. Biology is so diverse at both the macro and micro level, and while we can group people together, there are countless factors that guarantee that the uniting factor does not manifest in the same ways.
    In conclusion, humans are diverse, being trans is diverse, transgender is well defined in common tongue, transsexual is restrictive in nebulous and arbitrary ways. ZonKonigin (talk) 21:14, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support, as per above mentioned sources and general shift in usage, I support the shortening change to 'transgender' with the note about how transsexual people may not consider themselves transgender, or 'trans' since that also works as an umbrella. In my experiences (and historical analysis), "transsexual" is largely used by older trans people while "transgender" is more often used by the younger ones. Similarly, older gay/lesbian people sometimes use homosexual while younger ones use gay/lesbian. Even with with the historical associations with the medical community, arguing whether transgender (identity term) and transsexual (original medical term) are fundamentally different feels like arguing about whether people who call themselves gay (identity term) are really homosexual (original medical term) or vice versa. And with both gay/homosexual and transgender/transsexual, there isn't going to be anything fundamentally different about the people who choose either term, as there are underlying biological bases for who we are that don't disappear due the choice of term. Of course, for public figures who explicitly called themselves transsexual as opposed to transgender we should include and respect that in their articles. Honestly, it's just sad to see trans people fighting over just terminology when we get treated the same at the end of the day (accounting for race, class, gender, etc). Final note, for the sake of cleaning Wikipedia a little and shortening those overly long links, we should simplify them while trying to remain inclusive.

    Alright. I still think fully-transitioning transsexuals and "non-ops" should be acknowledged as different categories. Because they are. Dakota Allie L. (talk) 18:29, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    "Gay" and "homosexual" are essentially literal synonyms. But "transgender" is "inclusive" of drag queens, part-time transvestites, "non-binary", queers, crossdressers, nonconforming people, non-ops, she-males, etc. Whereas transsexual quite literally only includes people with Harry Benjamin Syndrome (neurological condition). These are certainly not the same category nor synonyms. Dakota Allie L. (talk) 18:33, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    There's a lot to unpack here:
    1) FYI, I'm an 18 year old trans/transgender lesbian saving up for bottom surgery. If I was born in a different time and place, I may have called myself a transsexual lesbian, or a transvestite since that was the term for trans lesbians (not "true" enough transsexuals).
    2) I consider myself nonbinary in the sense that gender roles are a social construct I don't need to hold myself to, and also a woman since that's how I'm read and how I experience life and frankly want to fully transition.
    3) I consider myself queer in the sense that it's an umbrella term for LGBT people and I'm two of those.
    4) In terms of gender noncomformity, do I suddenly stop being a trans woman the second I put on jeans and a flannel shirt? Are cis people who are gender noncomforming not actually their gender? Butches actually men? Twinks actually women? Someone can have a gender and still not conform to all the societal expectations placed on their appearance...
    5) We should both know trans people historically found safe havens in drag culture. Even today, one of my best friends is a trans woman and a drag queen since she's got bills to pay.
    6) Last I checked, transgender doesn't actually include cross-dressers, unless you're a trans person cosplaying as your assigned gender at birth or something.
    7) Literally only ever heard she-male being used ironically by trans people. It's used as either a slur or a porn category by cis people.
    8) A brief look at Transsexual shows that Harry Benjamin began to use the term gender identity. The page also contains information about the syndrome, it's criticism, and more modern coverage of biological markers.
    9) I know a lot of trans people who are comfortable with various bodily configurations. The idea that a person must "fully" transition to be valid is just the same the idea that aesthetic intersex surgery for "normal" genitalia is humane or necessary. Given your understandable feeling on John Money, I don't think you believe the latter the case. I know a lot of people who use transgender, and a few who use transsexual (usually trans elders), and the commonalities far outweigh any differences. TheTranarchist (talk) 19:15, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. I think it's vital that identity categories be used for people that actually identify with those labels. As far as I am aware, folks who identify uniquely as transsexual are a minority within a minority, but they do exist. I think the spirit of WP:CATLGBT applies, though (the shortcut name not withstanding) it's written specifically about sexuality and not gender. The benefit to the renaming seems to be concision, but concision outside of the actual bodies of articles is not a major concern. The tradeoff in terms of precision and offense is not worth it.
    I would support splitting each category into a Transgender X and Transsexual X category, with both likely to be under the parent LGBT X category.
    Please do not interpret my !vote as an endorsement of the vitriolic attacks on transgender people presented above. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 19:54, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support "trans", oppose just "transgender". Discussions like this inevitably turn political, but it doesn't matter who's right or wrong in which identities. What matters is not miscategorizing anyone. Some trans people identify as "transsexual" and not "transgender". Some people may meet the academic definition for "transsexual" but not "transgender" (although that's rare). Our articles trans woman and trans man work around this nuance by using the shared abbreviation for both terms in their titles. These categories should do the same. Splitting the category isn't the worst thing in the world, but for most trans people the transgender/transsexual distinction isn't important, so I think that would be more trouble than it's worth. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 05:47, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    If this is the decision we make, I would be fine with it. Dakota Allie L. (talk) 18:07, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The above is a good point and if the categories and articles were reorganized to recognize that transgender is an umbrella term that contains in it Transsexual, and all other forms of gender nonconformity then I'd fully support this. The problem is it likely will not be as many up and comming people feel that the term transsexual is offensive and even call those of us who use it "transmedicalist" or "Truscum". --Hfarmer (talk) 11:51, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Transsexual is a term for how a great many people identify what they are separate from being transgender. IF this was going to go with a overall overhaul of the Wikipedia on this then it might be fine. This however is Wikipedia it doesn't work that way. Every article has people who keep an eye on it and most of them have attained a sort of meta-stability. It would be very hard to change that stable state, and if we upset it the result might be worse. Ideally category transgender people would contain subcategories Transsexual ( for medical transitoners anyone who has had surgery and hormones), Transgender (for those who have not), non binary etc. The PROBLEM arises in that since many youngsters feel that transsexual is offensive it will become about having a specific source where the person who is trans says "I am a transsexual". Since of course we would not want to put something pejorative in there. This change in point of view would be a slow death of the term transsexual before its time. Maybe in 20-40 more years their point of view will rein. By then generation double Z will find their terms offensive. --Hfarmer (talk) 11:58, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support transgender and transsexual can be interchangeable sometimes, I don't find transsexual offensive or a slur, however I see transgender is an umbrella. And I also supporting using just "trans..." where possible (trans men, trans women). I'm a bit neutral, I like both ways, but a change is also nice. Tazuco (talk) 17:58, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose If we move it to just "trans", I'd be okay with that. However, once again erasing transsexuals by forcing us under "transgender" is not okay in my book.

  • Oppose I think its important we keep medical terminology intact for those of us that prefer it. Not all of us desire to be lumped under political "identity" terms.

"Transsexual" remaining in use is necessary to acknwoledge those of us who treat being trans as a medical condition and not as an identity.

  • Support This category rename should have been done a long time ago, honestly. Transsexual hasn't been a term in common use for a number of years outside of some very specific scientific/medical circles. Any needed usage of the term as a category would be more useful in its own separate category anyways.

  • Support "Trans" per Tamzin, or if that fails "transgender". The current state of the redirects is overly verbose. Trans is an umbrella term that encompasses both transgender and transsexual. Arguably transgender also is an umbrella term in its modern usage, though there is as has been demonstrated here a minority who disagree with that and consider it erasure. Using "trans" instead of "transgender and transsexual" or "transgender" has the benefit of being more concise without losing any precision. Sideswipe9th (talk) 00:22, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support "Trans" per others. I don't mean to offend anyone, but "transgender" is my second choice because it is the umbrella term and "transsexual" is very controversial in the LGBT community today. Pipenswick (talk) 02:32, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Neutral I came into this discussion thinking that "transsexual" was an outdated term, but comments to the contrary above have convinced me that there is a visible minority that may feel erased by its subsuming into the umbrella category "transgender."

  • Support for all the reasons above, but in addressing the other concerns raised by Dakota Allie L., Qqroads, DisplayGeek, Memories of, Hfarmer, FlowerGirl246, and FriskyTGirl60, I think separate new categories should be made for strictly transsexual people and fictional characters where relevant after the split has taken place, as I see Firefangledfeathers also directly proposed above.

  • Support transgender, second option trans. The status quo is not an option. As per glaad "Do not use transsexual to describe a person unless it is a word they use to describe themself." - so per WP:BLP we should not be putting a category with "transsexual" in it on a trans person's page unless they specifically identify as such. We can add a node re "transsexual", or create a subcategory if there's enough demand for such. I think trans is a bit informal and may be confusing by itself for a general audience.

    There are a few exclusive same-sex attracted people who reject the labels "gay" and "lesbian" as well, but Wikipedia refuses to use the term "Homosexual people" in categories so I doubt you're doing to convince editors here to reject the majority nomenclature in this case either. You're an exception and transgender is the WP:COMMONNAME.★Trekker (talk) 16:12, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support transgender, as the current category names are bound to cause more confusion than less. I understand the urge to use "trans," a word I prefer, but in order to avoid people requesting the category be changed to trans* in the future, using "transgender" makes more change. GLAAD, of course, has a good information on this topic, and as ★Trekker notes above, "transgender" is the common name, NOT "transexual". In the past, that was different, but we are in 2022 now, not 1992.
