Transsexual

Similar to transgender, this is a more specific term typically referring to trans people who are hormonally and/or surgically transitioning from one binary gender to another. This term has largely fallen out of use. While not necessarily offensive, this term is fairly out of use among younger trans people and likely should be avoided unless the individual self-identifies.
