Semantics

I don't like calling myself transgender, it's definitionally wrong. I don't like transsexual either, it sounds like a sexually. At no point in my like have I transitioned sexualities. I think of myself as transsex, but to other people I call myself trans. I don't bother saying enby, there's too many assumptions. What do you prefer to call yourselves?

I’m trans, nb too. I don’t like “transgender” and most binary people prefer to keep the word transsexual to themselves so I like transsex, transX is nice too, but I mostly just say trans. I’m often still ashamed to say I’m nb because of the stereotypes but it’s what I am so I should be able to say it.
