                                                                                                                      • Please note this important distinction between the terms, as explained on the second webpage linked above (under Relationship to transgender): ’The term transgender was coined by John Oliven in 1965. By the 1990s, transsexual had come to be considered a subset of the umbrella term transgender. The term transgender is now more common, and many transgender people prefer the designation transgender and reject transsexual.’
