The word transsexual is not a slur.
Transgender just does not do justice in explaining our experience anymore. It has become too broad a word. If you’re going to say that you do not need gender dysphoria or to medically transition in order to be transgender, there needs to be a word that describes people like me who need medical intervention in order to survive.
The transsexual experience has much less to do with gender than it does with our own sex characteristics. Gender is kind of a secondary problem, but for us what it’s really about, is our sex, therefore transsexual. Because we experience so much distress over our biological primary and secondary sex characteristics.
That's why this whole narrative of, "gender is a social construct and therefore I can be whatever gender I feel at any moment," is so frustrating for us because gender is really a secondary problem for us where the main problem being our sex, which is why we have the need, the intense need and drive, to transition medically.
Do I feel more comfortable in the female gender role? Yes, absolutely, of course I do. But really, I could take on all those roles as a man. And I wouldn’t be any less of a man.
It is this incongruence between my brain and my heart and my physical body combined with a distress of my biological sex characteristics that drives me to transition. Not because I think, "oh well, I always liked Barbie dolls, or I always like the colour pink." And while those things may be true, it all boils down to our sex characteristics. That is the driving factor and motivation behind us transsexuals' transition.
Not making this video to invalidate anyone. I’m just getting a lot of comments of saying, "ew, gross, why would you say transsexual?" And the reason is because it is a definition that describes my experience and other people's experiences like me, and it is needed and it is underneath the trans umbrella. Okay, that’s it.
==
Reminder: every "LGBT" group has already removed dysphoria from the definition of "trans." It's now entirely about preferences, personality traits, moods, and fetishes: what are your favorite colors, what toys do children like to play with, do you feel more feminine or more masculine today?

People with a significant clinical disorder are left out in the cold as pretenders, narcissists, fetishists, perverts and other activists steal or manipulate the language they use to explain who they are.
I support the plight of transsexuals. I will not participate in the pretend games of "transgender"; you're an average person LARPing as special and screwing things up for those who have real needs.

In many religions, including Christianity, the right hand of God is the favored hand. For example ‘after the Lord Jesus, had spoken to them (the Eleven disciples) he was taken up into the heaven and he sat at the right hand of God’. God’s left hand, however, is the hand of judgment. (Source)

the way midnight mass spent all of seven episodes showing us what faith and fanaticism looks like only to remind us what true faith looks like in the last five minutes of the episode, by showing us the people singing, the sheriff and his son praying at the beach and the monsignor and his love holding their daughter. the way the one who believed that she was the most faithful and righteous while actually being evil was the only one who didn’t make peace with her own death and tried to cling to life with claws and teeth.
they really said faith is not about idolatry, or blind belief, or even a big guy in the sky, it’s about community, and love, and the people who forget that and allow themselves to believe that they’re better than others will find themselves alone in the end.
