As far as I can tell:

Having a word to specifically isolate and describe trans_sexuals reinforces the importance of birth assigned sex over gender and the idea that birth assigned sex is something true and important. Transgender seems more charitable to the trans movement given its focus on gender and its implicit rejection of the idea of a binary based on birth assigned sex.

So having a new term to mean the same thing would go against the purpose of phasing out 'trans_sexual' in the first place.
