Etymology

Adjective

transsexual (comparative more transsexual, superlative most transsexual)

(of a person) Having changed, or being in the process of changing, physical sex (because it does not match desired sex) by undergoing medical treatment such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and optionally sex reassignment surgery (SRS), or rarely only SRS.

Usage notes

• Although some authors distinguish transsexual (pertaining to physical sex) and transgender (pertaining to gender), transgender is generally taken to encompass transsexual and has largely displaced it; transsexual is now often considered outdated, although some people who have undergone SRS still prefer it; compare the usage notes at transgender. Neither term should be confused with transvestite (which see for more).

Synonyms

• transsex (less common), transsexed (uncommon)
