TS

ちなみに、なぜ日本で「TS」が一般的になったかというと、私が「yaysの性転換の館」開始時に、性同一障害に関するサイトから「TS」という用語を拝借してきて盛んに使っていたのも一因かもしれません。

2000, Yaesu, 八重洲メディアリサーチ [Yaesu Media Research], archived from the original on 2000-09-19:

By the way, as for why 'TS' became popular in Japan, it might be because when I started 'Yays Gender Transformation Mansion,' I borrowed the term 'TS' from websites related to gender dysphoria and used it extensively.

F氏「ＴＳの定義についての明記なんですが一体ＴＳの定義って・・・・？例の決まりあるあの一言でいいのかな？「このサイトは男性が女性、あるいは女性が男性に変化するようなことを主題として扱っているサイトです〜」

2000 May 28, Mr. F, “TS学入門 [Introduction to TS Studies]”, in TS-WEEK, archived from the original on 2006-06-06:

"Regarding specifying the definition of TS... what exactly is the definition of TS? Is it enough to have that one specified phrase like, 'This site deals with themes where men become women, or vice versa'?"

ＴＳＦという言葉が使われ始める前（１９９９，２０００年頃）には、Ｔｒａｎｓｓｅｘｕａｌの略語であるＴＳという言葉が、前述のＴＳＦの意味と同様の意味を表す言葉として用いられていました。この用法は、八重洲性転換の館（現：八重洲メディアリサーチ）の主催者である八重洲さんの提案によるものです。なお、今でも多くの人がＴＳＦと同じ意味でＴＳという言葉を使っています。

2015 June 4, F_TSF, “ＴＳＦとは [What is TSF?]”, in TSFのF [blog], archived from the original on 2015-08-10:

Before the term TSF came into use, the abbreviation "TS," standing for Transsexual, was used to convey a similar meaning around 1999-2000. This usage was proposed by Yaesu-san, the organizer of Yaesu Gender Transformation Mansion (now: Yaesu Media Research). Many people still use the term "TS" with the same meaning as TSF.
