In the 1990s and prior, '''transsexual''' (also spelled '''transexual''') was the common [[umbrella term]] in English for what has now come to be usually called [[transgender]]. Some languages still use "transsexual" for various reasons, such as not having separate native words for [[sex]] and [[gender]]. This article will first discuss the modern English usage of "transsexual", then afterward will discuss the historical usage. | In the 1990s and prior, '''transsexual''' (also spelled '''transexual''') was the common [[umbrella term]] in English for what has now come to be usually called [[transgender]].
