if you don't like the word transsexual, don't use it. but there's no need to piss on people who still use that term to describe themselves. you probably wouldn't like it if I went around telling cis people that they should never use the term that you use to describe yourself...

...so please don't do that to me.

P.S., your preferred term isn't perfect either (see 2nd half of this essay)... http://juliaserano.blogspot.com/2014/04/a-personal-history-of-t-word-and-some.html#activistlanguage
