Etymology
The word transexual comes from the first part trans- meaning 'across' and sexual meaning 'related to sex', just like the trans- in transfer or transport. So, transexual describes a person whose gender is 'across' or 'on the other side' of the sex they were given at birth, and it has often been used for people who may have medical treatment to change their sex.
