Why Limit Trans to Sex?
"The 'transsexual male' [that is, transgender woman--SR] is indistinguishable from other males, save by his desire to be a woman.... If such a desire qualifies as a disease, transforming the desiring agent into a 'transsexual,' then the old person who wants to be young is a 'transchronological,' the poor person who wants to be rich is a 'transeconomical,' and so on and on."
Szasz had a way of cutting through BS without wasting any words. Let's see, how can we change the saying "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride" into something modern? Maybe call them "transtransportational". This is great! Thousands of new words are just waiting to come into existence.
