It’s apparently supposed to make a distinction between trans people before/after bottom surgery. I doubt that’s a common use for that word, but I still have a few points against that specifically:

  • I don’t think it’s ok to make a distinction those in this way
  • It straight up ignores that not everyone wants bottom surgery
  • It’s not even the way ‘-sexual’ is used normally.

Most people just use it interchangeably with transgender to my knowledge.

If I hadn’t heard of it in context it’s commonly used in, I would think that it’s the attraction to trans people.


Idk if I’m making any sense here, I suck at saying/writing things that do

    My main issue with it is that trans meds use it to differentiate themselves from other trans folk. I’ve got nothing against the term in and of itself, but I avoid using it because I don’t want people thinking that I’m trans med.
