transsexualism

Etymology

transsexual + -ism

noun

  1. Transsexuality; the state of being transsexual.
    Transfolk are not covered in any applicable laws like Title VII or the ADA - in fact, transsexualism is explicitly excluded from the ADA. Therefore, you have no causes of action against an employer based on federal law. 1997, A. Spencer Bergstedt, Transition and Beyond, page 28
    Being a transsexual is not something that can be ignored or suppressed forever. Unlike the fascinations of the cross dresser or the partially altered transgenderist, the absolute compulsion of classical transsexualism is a matter of life and death. 2012, Patrick Slattery, Curriculum Development in the Postmodern Era
