transexion (countable and uncountable, plural transexions)

/tɹɑːnˈsɛkʃən/

From trans- + Latin sexus (“sex”) + -ion.

1650, Thomas Browne, Pseudodoxia Epidemica: […], 2nd edition, London: […] A[braham] Miller, for Edw[ard] Dod and Nath[aniel] Ekins, […], →OCLC:

[…] transexion or change from female to male, and hence "from imperfection to perfection"; the transmutation of species in closely allied animals and plants, as horses and asses, dogs and foxes, pheasants and cocks, barley and oats[…]

Another way that one can be "transgressively gendered" is by identifying as genderqueer or genderfluid—i.e., refusing to identify fully as either woman or man.

2009, Julia Serano, Whipping Girl, page 346:

A slightly newer term, genderqueer […] is also often used by people who believe they are genderfluid, who feel like both genders, who will sometimes feel male, sometimes female, or who may not believe that there are only two genders.

2011, Ellen Greenblatt, Serving LGBTIQ Library and Archives Users, page 29:

For example, "queer" would include self-identified lesbians and gays who also have sex with the "opposite sex," sexual practices and relationships that include kink, s/m, polyamory, and pansexuality, gender play and fuck including femmes and those feminine of center, butches and those masculine of center, queens, femboys, gurls, bois, sissies, tomboys, crossdressers, drag queens and kings, and genderfluid people.

2016, Cindy I-Fen Cheng, The Routledge Handbook of Asian American Studies:

"I'm genderfluid! Sometimes a guy, sometimes a girl. Sometimes, I guess, confused shrug? Anyway, I have a spell that lets me change my default form, so my feminine form is not an enchantment."

2020 October 28, Dan Shive, El Goonish Shive (webcomic), Comic for Wednesday, Oct 28, 2020:

cisgenderism

Confronting cisgenderism means asking our colleagues aloud why intersex babies' genitals are still being surgically altered at birth far below the age of informed consent, while women like Charlotte are routinely denied these surgeries.

2016, Lyndsey Moon, Counselling Ideologies: Queer Challenges to Heteronormativity:

Such assumptions can motivate expressions of cisgenderism such as retroactive misgendering (in which a person's past is described using language that disregards or contrasts with their current designation of their gender) […]

2016, Abbie E. Goldberg, The SAGE Encyclopedia of LGBTQ Studies, page 232:

While cisgenderism may manifest as individual instances of prejudice and discrimination, it is rooted in systemic practices and ideology.

2021, Abbie E. Goldberg, Genny Beemyn, The SAGE Encyclopedia of Trans Studies, SAGE Publications, Incorporated, →ISBN, page 118:

Attitudes or beliefs that privilege cisgender people or perspectives over transgender ones.

Parsons found the biggest issue to be that “there was no space that said that it was welcoming specifically to non-cisgender people. Just having Penn Non-cis existing is already a space that I can be more comfortable in.”

2013 January 13, Rebecca Borison, “Penn Non-Cis fights underrepresentation on campus”, in The Daily Pennsylvanian, University of Pennsylvania:

The majority of the world would declare themselves cisgender; however those of non-cisgender identity are, of course, an important and ever growing presence in society.

However, she also said that it is a matter of accessibility and safety for non-cisgender students at the university (cisgender is a term denoting a person whose biological sex and gender identity match).

transgenderist

After having lived much of our lives according to a socially accepted prescription, many of us come to realize that we have not been true to ourselves. As full-time or part-time transgenderists, we feel the need to improve the quality of life for ourselves by creating an environment around us which is compatible with the kind of life style we wish to achieve.

1979, Nancy, “Feather Your Own Nest”, in Transvestia, volume XVII, number 98, Chevalier Publications, →LCCN, archived from the original on 2023-06-19, page 36:

Perhaps the most surprising and controversial issue to emerge was that of “transpeople." Transpeople, as defined by the highly articulate Houston based Transpeople Caucus are “transexuals, transgenderists, transvestites, drag queens, and female impersonators." Phyllis Frye, a transgenderist from Houston, in fact opened the welcoming Friday night session. The original motion made by this caucus called for, “the term Gay Transpeople to be included in all statements...The demands as well as policy and media coverage.” They also called for the changing of the name of the March to read “Lesbians, Gay Males and Gay Transpeople’s March on Washington."

1979 September/October, “The March Is On!”, in The Lesbian Tide, volume 9, number 2, Los Angeles: Tide Publications, page 12, column 3:

Finally, since all of this comes out of my own experience and my own thinking, when one gets to the transgenderist position, which is where I am now, I can set up housekeeping right in the middle, if I want, and look and act womanly until a “fence” gets in my way — and then vault over it and go on my way without any feelings of inappropriateness, or “what will people think,” or, “that wasn’t very feminine” type of thinking. I’m just very satisfied to be ME, a position that incorporates all of me, both left, right and middle.

1981, Virginia Prince, “Relaxation in "DRESSING"”, in Transvestia, volume XVIII, number 104, Chevalier Publications, archived from the original on 2023-06-19, page 26, column 3:

Going further than the one-dimensional femininity of the transvestite and cross-dresser, many transgenderists mix and match, blending as much femininity or masculinity with its opposite into new gender recipes.

2002, Richard Ekins, David King, Blending Genders:

[…] in her cross-dressed transgenderist the assured knowableness of the universal subject is cast into doubt as she exposes the far from secure boundaries of maleness.

2010, Carole Jones, Disappearing Men: Gender Disorientation in Scottish Fiction, 1979-1999:

Being a transsexual is not something that can be ignored or suppressed forever. Unlike the fascinations of the cross dresser or the partially altered transgenderist, the absolute compulsion of classical transsexualism is a matter of life and death.

2012, Patrick Slattery, Curriculum Development in the Postmodern Era:

(rare, sometimes derogatory) A transgender person.


agender

An agender noun includes both the masculine and feminine forms.

All I understand is that G-d is amorphous, agender, etc. so "image" can't be a physical or gender or sexual thing.

2000 July 28, Miriam Wolfe, “Re: The Genealogy of J---s Question”, in alt.messianic (Usenet):

"He" has been used as the default pronoun, and as I said, unfortunately there is no agender equivalent to he/she, as "it" is usually equated with something without life, or at least of a life form considered to be less intelligent (that in itself is negotiable, but this is for a different topic).

2000 November 21, abbycat2 [username], “Re: God and Grammar”, in soc.religion.quaker (Usenet):

But despite this near-universality of gender, cultures can have transgender, agender, and hypergender individuals.

2005 July 20, man_in_black529 [username], “Re: Homosexuality and the Bible”, in alt.politics.democrats (Usenet):

"'Agender'? I'm pretty sure that means not identifying as a particular gender? I'm sorry. That's just what it made me think of. I'm not trying to tell you what to--"

Neque absque intento postrema sublineavimus verba.

I talk about “transmisogyny” in my book, which is the intersection of being trans and experiencing misogyny. As a trans woman, I don't just experience how our culture devalues femininity—I'm treated as a fake woman.

2011, Julia Serano, edited by Jennifer Baumgardner, F 'em!: Goo Goo, Gaga, and Some Thoughts on Balls, Seal Press, →ISBN, page 199:

As to bisexual trans woman, in addition to all of the above, they are also subject to a whole other set of sexual harassment and violence as a result of transphobia and transmisogyny (this goes especially for trans women of color).

2013, Shiri Eisner, Bi: Notes for a Bisexual Revolution, Seal Press, published 2013, →ISBN:

The state is unable to provide equal protection and non-discrimination to those within its borders because the state itself enshrines white supremacy, heteropatriarchy, and transmisogyny into its legal codes – a structure that operates through nonconsensual imposition, coercion […]

2017, Elizabeth Whalley, Colleen Hackett, “Carceral feminisms: the abolitionist project and undoing dominant feminisms”, in Contemporary Justice Review: Issues in Criminal, Social, and Restorative Justice, volume 20, number 4, pages 456–473:

Later in the text, the author speaks directly with a street sex worker, describing her as a “pretty transgender teenager”, giving a counterpoint to the language earlier in the text—however this occurs well after the transmisogyny of the introductory paragraphs (Wane 2011, 69) …

cisnormativity

The erasure of transpeople's experiences can be understood, at least partially, as a function of the hegemony of cisnormativity.

2012, Matthew Heinz, “Transmen on the Web: Inscribing Multiple Discourses”, in Karen Ross, editor, The Handbook of Gender, Sex and Media, John Wiley & Sons, →ISBN, page 336:

These are the bodily consequences of cisnormativity—the prevalent and presumptuous assumption that cissexuality is the only acceptable and legible form of gender identity—which show us why, when we engage in feminist activism and inquiry, we must be trans-inclusive in our efforts to ensure that every human being deserves decency and justice when wronged.

2012 Fall, Einar Ragnar Jónsson, “Why Feminism Needs to be Trans-Inclusive or: The Bodily Consequences of Cisnormativity”, in Bluestockings, page 41:

(LGBTQ, neologism) The assumption that all human beings are cisgender, i.e. have a gender identity which matches their biological sex.


cisnormative

en-adj

cisnormative (comparative more cisnormative, superlative most cisnormative)

most cisnormative (superlative)

This erasure reflects the priorities, biases, and oversights of writers and publishers who function in a cisnormative system, one in which people are assumed to be cissexual.

Cisnormative assumptions are tied in with discourses surrounding HIV and STIs.

2012 October, Jen Roberton, Emily Milton, “Cisnormative assumptions and queer sex”, in The Strand, volume 55, number 5,29, Victoria University, page 4:

In a cisnormative world, I could not comprehend the humiliation I felt, at eight years old, when I received a “girl” bike for Christmas, because everything around me reflected the experiences of people for whom the color of their bike somehow aligned with their genitalia.

2017, Roman Kuhar, David Paternotte, Anti-Gender Campaigns in Europe: Mobilizing against Equality, Rowman & Littlefield, →ISBN:

The letter reads: 'Gender ideology results from many decades of ideological and cultural changes rooted in Marxism and neomarxism promoted by some feminist movements and from sexual revolution. Genderism [...] claims that biological sex does not have any social significance and what matters is gender, cultural sex, […] According to this ideology, one can freely choose whether to be a man or a woman; one may also select their own sexual orientation' (List Pasterski 2013).

Our first demonstration at the Canadian border—where we’d planned to test rumors about PWAs being denied entry into Canada by announcing we all had AIDS—fizzled when our bus entered the country without incident, save the late realization that our bilingual T-shirts had misgendered the virus—it's “le SIDA,” not “la SIDA”—causing a frantic scramble for sharpies and eyebrow pencils to correct the offending vowel.

TERF

Acronym of trans-exclusionary radical feminist. The earliest recorded use is from 2008 by trans-inclusive cisgender radical feminist Viv Smythe.

acronym

Dear “A Lesbian Democrat”
Your TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist) agenda and what it represents is no better than the bigoted regressive agenda of the religious right.

2013, Toni Browning-Early, letter to the editor, QNotes, Volume 28, Number 6, 19 July - 1 August 2013, page 4

At the further extreme TERF’s^([sic]) actively promote the message that banning trans women from feminist gathering implies—that trans women are not really women at all.

2013 December, Rachel Eliason, “Wired This Way”, in ACCESSline, volume 27, number 12, page 13:

Perhaps the sheer nastiness of TERFs comes from the fact that they don’t just know they’ve lost; they know they were on the wrong side from the beginning.

2014, Roz Kaveney, "Woman Enough, The Advocate, 16 July 2014

Although some TERFs attend the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival, none of my interviewees or other land-women have identified as a TERF, nor have any TERFs, to my knowledge, ever lived on women's land.

2018, Keridwen N. Luis, Herlands: Exploring the Women's Land Movement in the United States:

The point here isn't that some TERFs aren’t XX and some Nazis aren’t “purely” white (an imaginary category); it’s that their bigotry rests on assumptions about biology and genetics which are scientifically lazy, as if you can “see” race and gender in a meaningful yet simplistic and binary way.

2019, Morgan Lev Edward Holleb, The A–Z of Gender and Sexuality: From Ace to Ze, London: Jessica Kingsley Publishers, →ISBN, page 252:

That Rowling used terms like “gender critical” (the preferred descriptor of TERFs rather than, well, TERF); that she believes laws that enable trans people to use the bathrooms and changing rooms that match their gender identity will “open the door to any and all men who wish to come inside,” which she says is the “simple truth” but is not backed up by any evidence whatsoever; and that she paints the movement for trans rights as one that is “doing demonstrable harm” to women and girls and is “offering cover to predators like few before it” is proof enough of what her views are and who she aligns herself with, for all of her protestations that she has trans friends and cares about the safety of trans women.

2020 June 10, Esther Wang, “For the Love of God, Please Make J.K. Rowling Stop”, in Jezebel, archived from the original on 2022-11-10:

(see usage notes) A trans-exclusionary radical feminist; a radical feminist who does not consider trans women to be women, or thinks they should not be included in female spaces or organisations, and who considers trans men to be women; a person whose transphobia is expressed in feminist terms.

“I think the thing that was most surprising was how supportive and gung-ho a lot older alums were,” said Mx. LoSchiavo, who graduated this year (and would have been admitted under the new policy, having identified as a female at the time of application).

2015 June 4, Elizabeth A. Harris, “Barnard College, After Much Discussion, Decides to Accept Transgender Women”, in The New York Times:

In the new Notice, the Court is asking people to state their name, title (sometimes called "salutation"), and pronouns to be used in the proceeding, and for lawyers to provide this information for their clients. For example: "My name is Ms. Jane Lee, spelled L-E-E. I use she/her pronouns. I am the lawyer for Mx. Joe Carter who uses they/them pronouns."

trans-erasure

While all minority voices are silenced to varying extents—usually by being denied access to media and economic and political power—there are several aspects of trans-erasure that make it particularly extensive.

2007, Julie Serano, Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity, Seal Press, →ISBN, page 189:

Even on the right, trans-erasure in legislation had been happening for a while. The re-purposing of DOMA, or Defense of Marriage Act, first proposed in 1996, specifically denied legislation recognizing the nuance in transsexual marriage, where one partner had their gender reassigned after the couple had wed.

2013, Ely Grinfeld, "Gay marriage fails to make all feel 'gay'", The Current (Eckerd Collage, St. Petersburg, Florida), Volume 4, Issue 11, 19 April 2013, page 9

(LGBTQ) The tendency to ignore, deny, or minimize the existence of transgender people or transness.

Finally, some who embrace the psychological paradigm critique transition-affirmative approaches by pointing to studies showing that a statistically significant number of people who have undergone transition – one 2009 study suggests up to 8 percent – have later expressed regrets, with some even deciding to retransition back to their birth sex.

2019, Paul Rhodes Eddy, James K. Beilby, “Understanding Transgender Experiences and Identities: An Introduction”, in Understanding Transgender Identities: Four Views, unnumbered page:

If a socially transitioned child desists and later comes to identify with their birth-assigned gender, the child must then retransition to that gender, which could be difficult and pose risks for the child at that older age.

2019, Shervin Shandianloo, Richard R. Pleak, “Mental Health Issues in Caring for the Transgender Population”, in Leonid Poretsky, Wylie C. Hembree, editors, Transgender Medicine: A Multidisciplinary Approach, page 122:

transploitation

Created by photographer Austin Young and Saskia Wilson-Brown, the series was first screened in 2007 as part of the Silver Lake Film Festival, and last week’s follow-up sought to probe the “transploitation” genre (as the creators have coined it) further, with short films and music videos by and about their favorite gender-blender superstars.

2009 December 9, Lina Lecaro, “Drag-Hagging With The Best Of 'Em”, in LA Weekly:

[…] and finally climaxing in a buckets-of-gore showdown in a suburban kitchen where a sexy bad guy is killed 42 ways to Sunday, this cheesy, way beyond camp "transploitation" snuff film has a truckload of chills and giggles.

2010 July 8, David Lambe, “Queer eye for the gore fest”, in Bay Area Reporter, volume 40, number 27, page 22:

In the same way that the transploitation film Ticked Off Trannies with Knives was so named in order to take ownership of a term that can be used derisively, couldn’t we all agree that “she-mail” was meant in good fun and leave it at that?

2014 April 18, Anna Waugh, “'Drag Race' promises to drop 'transphobic' gags”, in Dallas Voice, volume 30, number 49, page 4:

The exploitation of transgender/transsexual people in the media (especially film and television).

Coordinate term: en femme

(chiefly of a trans, non-binary or cross-dressing person) Dressed in masculine clothing.


andromimetic

From andro- + mimetic. Literally “male mimic”.

An andromimetic...is the counterpart of a gynemimetic. He lives full-time as a man. If he has access to male hormone and undergoes hormonal masculinization, it is more likely than not that he will seek hysterectomy and breast removal...

1988, John Money, Gay, Straight, and In-between: The Sexology of Erotic Orientation, →ISBN, page 98:

(dated, nonstandard, rare, sexology) A transmasculine individual or trans man.

2012, Lesbian Communities: Festivals, RVs, and the Internet, page 122:

Abbreviation of womyn-born-womyn: woman-born-woman.


woman-born-woman

Coined by second-wave feminists to distinguish cisgender women from transgender women.

To the extent that she can pull it off, her gender is babe. But at Stayfree her babe outfit (long hair, big shirt, leggings, flats) makes her feel like an interloper—like some rude woman-born-woman intent on boycotting femininity because she can take it for granted.

(feminism) A cisgender woman; a cis woman.


womyn-born-womyn

For the spelling, see womyn; for information about the phrase itself, see woman-born-woman.

Lesbians for Justice therefore appeals to the organizers of the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival to nullify its "womyn-born-womyn only" policy, and to allow the attendance of post-operative male-to-female transsexuals at all future festivals.

Simon, who is 64 and the only self-identified transgay man of the interviewees, explained that growing up, "I hated girly clothes all along. I never wanted to show my body or wear a dress. I never dated at all ... it does make you feel different. When I came out as a lesbian, I was already divorced ... my sexual sensation had already increased ... what I discovered is that I was gay."

transpersons (plural)

As a group of men, the "Sisters" trivialize a group of women (nuns). Likewise, by the particular form of their "drag" they trivialize those transpersons (transsexuals and transvestites) who cross-dress out of a genuine need of their self-identity.

truscum

Clipping of the derogatory epithet “true transsexual scum”; by surface analysis, tru- (“true, genuine”) + scum.

The term 'truscum', meant to be an epithet directed at the medicalization supporters, came into usage through an often-referenced post by tumblr user transstingray [... in 2012] a 'truscum' individual believes that all trans people should identify as transsexual, identify within the binary, use only male or female pronouns […] . The term is derived from 'true transsexual' and 'scum' […] . Although 'truscum' was originally meant to be a derogatory term, it has since been reclaimed and redefined to mean an individual who believes that one needs to experience sex-based dysphoria in order to be trans, and that transsexualism is a medical condition. It has now transcended its original purpose and has become a term with which the supporters of medicalization identify themselves.

2013, Alexander Wijnants, "Identity of Neurology Social Media and the Politician versus Medicalization of Trans People", Synaesthesia: Communication Across Cultures, ISSN 1883-5953, Volume 1, Number 4, Spring 2013, page 131

The truscum, or medical supporters, use basic, non-radical goals and a reliance on empirical evidence to develop and support a self-concept of being the more rational and realistic group within the debate.

2013, Alexander Wijnants, "Identity of Neurology Social Media and the Politician versus Medicalization of Trans People", Synaesthesia: Communication Across Cultures, ISSN 1883-5953, Volume 1, Number 4, Spring 2013, page 134

That, in summary, is the tone taken by the very recently developed factions of quote unquote social justice warriors, trans and trans* activists, truscum, radfems; […]

2014, Zoe Kilbourn, "PSA, UWU: Tumblr, Gender, and Gaga", Pelican (University of Western Australia), Volume 85, Edition 6, circa September 2014, page 9

Even among wonderful and truscum-battling friends I still avoid the label trans, instead occasionally asking for 'they' pronouns to be used and trying to talk of men as an outsider.

2015, Henrx Holmes, "Unmanned", No HeterOx (Oxford, UK), page 7 (approx.)

(slang, usually derogatory) A person who believes that gender dysphoria is an essential trait to being transgender.

Clearly, these were folks who chose to view my transness as an “affliction” (despite the fact that I did not portray it that way myself).

2013, Julia Serano, Excluded: Making Feminist and Queer Movements More Inclusive, Seal Press, published 2013, →ISBN:

Now though, I've been thinking more about the idea that one can be attracted to transgender men (or women) in part because of their transness, not (as mainstream culture seems to think) in spite of it.

2014, Diane Anderson-Minshall, Jacob Anderson-Minshall, Queerly Beloved: A Love Story Across Genders, Bold Strokes Books, published 2014, →ISBN:

My transness felt irrelevant to most of my informal, passing relationships. It was not something I discussed upon meeting someone.

But I am asking us to examine a comedic device that not only degrades women but also reinforces the absolutely incorrect and harmfully transmisogynistic idea that trans women are really just "men in dresses."

2014 November 4, Morgan Philley, “Dressing down the gender binary”, in The Daily Mississippian, volume 103, number 49, University of Mississippi, page 2:

gynemimetic

From Ancient Greek γυνή (gunḗ, “female”) + μῑμητικός (mīmētikós, “imitative”); equivalent to gyne- + mimetic. Literally “female mimic”. First put forward in a 1984 article by sexologists John Money and Malgorzata Lamacz.

In most large cities of the West there exists an unnamed gynemimetic community that corresponds to the social institution of hijras in India and xanith in Oman.

Gynemimesis is a subtype of gender transposition or gender dysphoria in which a person with male anatomy and morphology lives in society as a woman without genital sex-reassignment surgery, and with or without taking female sex-hormonal therapy. The lover of such a person is a gynemimetophile. The corresponding terms that apply to the female are andromimesis and andromimetophile.

(dated, nonstandard, rare) The state of being a transfeminine individual, or trans woman, who has not had sex reassignment surgery.

deadname

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-deadname.wav

From dead + name, because the old name is dead (“no longer used”). Attested since at least 2010 as a noun and 2013 as a verb by the OED.

And when people constantly refer to you as your deadname [a name that you previously went by], or use the incorrect pronouns, it really is like getting slapped with a wet fish.

2014, Natalia Moorin, “My Illness Is Not Your Inspiration”, in Damsel, University of Western Australia, page 21:

One of the articles in our last issue contained a major error: we referred to a transgender student by their deadname.

2018 February 27, Amy O'Kruk, “Apology to readers”, in Western Gazette, Western University, page 2:

“My deadname is everywhere because of my ID card, and not only do I have to look at it but lots of other people get to see. […]

deadnames (present singular third-person)
deadnaming (participle present)

Using trans peoples' dead names – names that they were born with which are either wrong through either legal or preferential means – has been and always will be an act of aggression, not just to the person you're deadnaming but to all trans people.

2015 June 17, Luca Kuchinka, “Caitlyn's story inspiring, spotlight should be shared”, in Estevan Mercury, page A7:

"Right now, it's unclear whether they are choosing to deadname me maliciously, or just can't be bothered to accommodate trans students in the way we require them to," he said.

2018, Alex, quoted in Sylvie Woods, "Students pay the price for 'tired' administration", Honi Soit (University of Sydney), Volume 90, Week 9 (2018), page 12

Felix's dad deadnames him despite supporting his top surgery and hormone therapy, and he hates his mom for leaving when he was 10.

genderist

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-genderist.wav

The Feminist Movement, […] is split between two types of feminists: the equality feminists and the gender feminists. Those who demand equal rights, […] are the equality feminists, […] The others are the NOW type, […] the gender feminists, or genderists. This radical element attempts to remodel women into something other than what nature has determined women to be. […] The genderists address particular vitriol toward non-conforming women still "enslaved" to men, like those who get married and have babies, […] And for her apostasy, Sommers says, the genderists “wish to excommunicate me from my sex.” The genderists tend to position themselves among the far left politically, to reject all advances of women as inadequate, and to hate America.

2010, William Davis Eaton, Liberal Betrayal of America and the Tea Party Firestorm, ELDERBERRY PRESS, INC., →ISBN, page 47:

(uncommon, in right-wing usage, derogatory) One who believes in gender ideology or does not support traditional gender roles.
