I have no desire to go back to using "transsexual" to describe myself. There is a movement, for whatever reason, to re-adopt the old term. Suit yourselves.
I like that "transsexual" fell away and was replaced by the more inclusive term "transgender" and that was shortened to just "trans."
The term includes many different kinds of people who push against the boundaries of "You are what we label you as at birth."
I *want* to share solidarity with everyone who fits under that umbrella.
