I'm not that satisfied with the current trans terminology either. It's been evolving. 'Transgendered' is out of favor now. The 'ed' has been dropped. The reason being that we transgender individuals were born transgender. We don't say that a gay individual is 'gayed', right? In other words, it's not something that is done to you.

I agree with you about 'transgenderism', but that's still the term I see used, in the same way that 'homosexuality' is used.

We'll have to wait to see if better terminology emerges as the discussion of trans issues widens.

Well, yeah, you HAVE a sex change, so, it's done TO you.

Or, we can come up with the words ourselves and toss them into common usagologismisticism. See? I just quoined a new word without even trying!
