Was thinking about this earlier. There is no actual transitive properties to being transsexual or transgender. By all scientific standards a “trans” person is accurately described as pseudosexual, or an imitation of another sex. It is abundantly clear that “trans” has no complete transition, it is an imitation, and in most cases a mockery. A transient state requires a completed transition, this is of course impossible for “trans” people because they can’t remake their dna or grow ovaries/ testes. Pseudo is the only apt description for someone who believes they are a different biological makeup and attempts an imitation of that makeup.

Transvestite is the oldest term; first coined over a century ago and, given the massive overlap in communities, likely the cause of the inception of the other trans- terms. Transient clothing wearer would mean they're "occasional dressers", not "cross dressers".
It just doesn't make sense for the cis-/trans- roots to be a post-hoc rationalization when the original transvestite term doesn't make sense the other way. It just got bastardized into transgender and trans-man/woman as part of their weird semantic degeneration games.
Ok I think we're saying the same thing. I don't supporting the "transient" interpretation either.
