An outdated medical term for transgender that is considered problematic by the trans community, as it falsely implies that one needs to medically transition in order to be a "real" person of the gender they identify as.
Person 1: "Isn't that lady-friend of yours a transsexual?"
Person 2: "Transsexual is actually an outdated term that's considered offensive, so I'd appreciate it if you used transgender or trans instead. It isn't really our business unless she deems it necessary to let us know herself, anyways..."
Person 1: "Oh—my bad. I wasn't aware of that. Thank you for letting me know. Anyways, I just wanted to say that I think she looks pretty."
Person 2: "Of course and I'll let her know. I'm sure it'll give her a great sense of gender euphoria."

Get the transsexual mug.Transsexuality is a sexuality for trans people who are attracted to other trans people - and not cis people. This means that someone can be attracted to both trans men, trans women and all nonbinary trans people.
Transsexual was a pejorative term for trans people and using it as a genuine sexuality name is reclaiming, many queer spaces are built around cis people so trans people need distinctive language. importantly, a cis person attracted to trans people only is always reffered to as a chaser - transsexual is exclusive to people who transition.
