"Transexual" can be a misspelling of "transsexual" or a term in its own right. Historically, "transsexual" was seen as pathologising by some trans people because it was created by oft-[[transphobia|transphobic]] medical professionals, so parts of the trans community created the term "transexual" as an alternative. It has the same meaning, but it de-emphasises the "-sexual" ending since it can break down into "trans" and "exual", and it was created by and for trans people so it was not seen as transphobic. However, this usage has largely fallen by the wayside, and in English "transsexual" is considered the only correct spelling. | "Transexual" can be a misspelling of "transsexual" or a term in its own right.
