Gender Variant Jargon: Transvestity
http://gvjargon.blogspot.com/2010/01/transvestity.html
An idiosyncratic guide through the many words that have been coined to describe and control gender variant persons. Consider the following pairs of words:. There is an importance difference of meaning between the first and the second in each case. The first word is simply the state or condition. The second word turns it into something that is being advocated, an ideology. So, as we have both 'transsexuality' and 'transsexualism', why don't we have both 'transvestity' and 'transvestism'?

An idiosyncratic guide through the many words that have been coined to describe and control gender variant persons.

Gender Variant Jargon: January 2010
http://gvjargon.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
An idiosyncratic guide through the many words that have been coined to describe and control gender variant persons. I do not use 'gender dysphoria syndrome' or 'gender dysphoria' as it is commonly abbreviated, because its users normally assume that transsexuality is a pathology. To use 'gender dysphoria' and not to mean a pathological state is to ask to be misunderstood. Links to this post. In Hirschfeld’s Die Transvestiten,. Obviously 'sexual over-going' was not going to catch on in English. As a German...

Gender Variant Jargon: Transsexual
http://gvjargon.blogspot.com/2010/01/transsexual.html
An idiosyncratic guide through the many words that have been coined to describe and control gender variant persons. In Hirschfeld’s Die Transvestiten,. 1910, the word he uses for what we might call transsexualism is ‘Geschlechtsuebergaenge’, which would literally be a sexual over-going. This word is translated as ‘transsexual’ in Michael Lombardi-Nash’s 1991 English translation of Die Transvestiten. Obviously 'sexual over-going' was not going to catch on in English.

An idiosyncratic guide through the many words that have been coined to describe and control gender variant persons. One often comes across the facile assertion that Magnus Hirschfeld coined the word ‘transvestite’ in the 1920s. Unfortunately for this assertion, transvest* and the French form travest* have been around as noun, verb and adjective for almost 500 years. And the Petit Robert.
