Morphology

transtrender + movement

The noun contains 'transtrender', a non-dictionary, slang/neologistic item that a B1 learner who only knows the listed constituents would not reliably interpret, while 'movement' is transparent as a collective. Even though 'trans' and 'trend' are potentially recognizable morphemes, the novel, contested and ideology-laden status of 'transtrender' makes the overall phrase's meaning unpredictable from its parts.

Etymology

Transtrender movement likely joins trans (short for transgender) and trender (someone who follows a 'trend'). This gives the picture of people treating 'gender identity' like a fashion, so the name is used for a movement that pushes for freedom of gender expression or, by critics, to say it is only a passing 'trend'.
