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

    Irrespective of how you feel, please do respect elderly trans/queer folk using the term, it might be dated but please be kind to them when they use it, remember that it doesnt come from a place of malice when older trans/queer folk use it.
