Transgenderist is a word with multiple meanings.
In the 1990s it was defined as meaning a person who "straddle[s] the gender boundaries" and "choose[s] to live as the third sex."[1] In this sense it can be considered a precursor to the terms genderqueer and nonbinary.
It may also be used more generically as a term for any transgender person, in which case it may be considered derogatory.[2]
At times "transgenderist" refers to a trans person who elects not to undergo any surgery as part of their transition.[3] This sense of the word was coined by Dr. Virginia Prince, herself a transgenderist, who considered herself "in-between" a transsexual and a crossdresser.[4]
