Meanings
plural transcommunities
- datedDated form of trans community.
Who knows what to call transpeople these days? The dominant discourse in the transcommunity is at best a moving target. Transgender began its life as a name for those folks who identified neither as crossdressers nor as transexuals—primarily people who changed their gender but not their genitals.
