I think they are saying they prefer transgender?
I haven’t heard anything about that word being offensive tho.
It’s not offensive, it’s just medically inaccurate. We’re not changing our sex, we’re changing our gender.
I suppose it could be offensive in that it misrepresents trans people’s understanding of what hormones do, but it’s really not a huge deal if I’m being honest. It does also have an air of old-timey gender politics, though, which does always come with a foul taste…
This also may not be a native English speaker.

Depends on the person but a lot of trans people consider it offensive. Transgender is more of a blanket term and transsexual usually relates to surgical changes. For instance I’m transgender because of my internal feelings and desire for specific social interactions but I also consider myself transsexual because of the surgeries I’ve had (but 99% of the time will just say I’m transgender because it’s a lot easier than going into all this). Transsexual was used as a blanket term in a way that doesn’t vibe with a lot of trans people and was/is used as a slur, and more recently it has found a place with truscum/transmedicalist types furthering it’s problematic nature
Ohh ok. I mean, I was looking at the root word as gender the social construct and sex (typically XX, XY). I thought the idea is if a trans person could choose to change sexes, they would (science, magic wand, whatever to go XX to XY or XY to XX).
