minus-squareMystikIncarnate@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agoTransvestite, I believe, is also a term applied to intersex persons as well, as far as I know… At least historically. The condition of being intersex, as far as I’m aware, is a well known condition dating back really far. Those people truly have no gender (and/or they’re both genders? IDK), so “trans” doesn’t really apply to them IMO.
