It's funny, but if I were being nitpicky I'd just say I don't love the way "transsexual" was done here. He made it look like it was a sort of sexual preference/sexuality (it isn't) since that's what the soda metaphor represented in the rest of the video. "Transsexual" itself is also usually going to be seen as an antiquated, crude term only used by the very ignorant. Some will self-label as transsexual, true, but most will prefer transgender. DON'T use the term if you're not sure it's preferred.
I love how this gives lovely attention to bi, pan, enby, and trans people, and also to those people who don't feel like they fit or want to be defined. Labels are AMAZING to help people understand one another and themselves! But you can also just do whatever.
Yeah, that's what I don't like, being pigeonholed. I have a few labels I'll keep, but the rest can go suck a lemon. They're not my thing and I like that about myself.
so yes. it has its moments especially later on. but fair warning, this is def one of the high points. and it can be a bit cringy at times, though thats more for the “second hand embarrassment” than because the show itself is cringe. like i say its a fun watch, but like know what your getting into. (that said if you enjoyed Don’t trust the B in apt. 23, you’ll prob like this)
I'd definitely recommend it. Couple of the characters I despise (Moira...) but David (guy in the gif) has some of the best character growth I've watched. No real complaints from me as a show. Plenty of funny and wholesome moments while also occasionally bringing up potentially touchy subjects in a good way.
As someone else pointed out, some of the other skits weren't about sexuality either, so we could assume that they were trying to demonstrate someone having undergone surgery (which, technically, IS what "transsexual" refers to, though we don't know enough about the soda to know if it prefers that term...because it's soda), without necessarily conveying a sexuality. The edit that someone else posted, which just says "trans" for that part, is better, in any case.
I consider myself an aggressive ally - however it had never occurred to me that gender and sexual preference were completely separate, until the Caitlin Jenner special. The idea that a transgender woman would still be attracted to women blew my mind, but it’s totally obvious once I gave it 4 seconds of thought.
Transgender is the umbrella term for a lot of variations but Transexual is still valid saying trans woman/trans man or trans femme/masc is just the shortened from of it, it's usually T****y we have an issue with.
My understanding would be that transexual is when your biological sex doesn't match your perceived gender, and transgender is when your perceived gender doesn't match your biological sex, so the two would be pretty much the same and interchangeable. I'm probably missing a lot of the whole picture and probably the two terms are used for different things, but that's what (linguistically) makes sense to me.
Someone else pointed out that the former also implies having undergone reassignment surgery, so that physical sex ≠ genetic sex ≠ perceived gender, and that mixing the two terms might be considered offensive. I want to clarify that that was not my intent.
They're the same thing. Transsexual comes from crusty old psychiatrists and is best left in the past. Unless someone specifically tells you to call them a transsexual, transgender is the preferred term.
Is this something I don't get because english isn't my first language? Like I already responded to the other person, I meant it as a textbook definition. I thought they both can mean the same thing just one is out of use mostly since it's used for something else much more often.
sex is biological, gender is what they identify as. they can be same (cis) or not (e.g. trans, but also nonbinary). some languages do not have separate words.
The word for that would still not be "transsexual" because transsexual is a term for people that have had surgery (and not all transgender people have had surgery, or will, so calling a random transgender person "transsexual" isn't just offensive (especially if they don't prefer the term), it can also just be objectively wrong)...
...but the word for "prefers transgender people" isn't necessarily "chaser", either, because genital preferences are a thing, and they are valid. If it becomes problematic (read: dehumanizing/objectifying), THEN the person causing the problem is a chaser.

So, you're saying Pepsi is gay?

It's saying that you're a pepsi.

It's saying that when asked if Pepsi is okay most people feel it's better than nothing but once they get out of prison...

Bill Cosby, voyeur and a couple more weren't sexual orientations either.

I agree it wasn't great but mainly because it's not obvious to people that they're talking about people who prefer trans partners.

I can agree with that. Still awkwardly done, but it's no big deal.

Transsexual is not a sexual preference, partly why most people say transgender these days.

Often times, when people question their gender, they also question their sexuality. I definitely did, just turned out I like both 😆
MelodyLightfoot
Transgender is the umbrella term for a lot of variations but Transexual is still valid saying trans woman/trans man or trans femme/masc is just the shortened from of it, it's usually T****y we have an issue with.
Leithoa
There's a lot of transmedicalism wrapped around the term. It was coined by a cis psychiatrist who had some shitty views.
cousteau
My understanding would be that transexual is when your biological sex doesn't match your perceived gender, and transgender is when your perceived gender doesn't match your biological sex, so the two would be pretty much the same and interchangeable.

OK, good to know. "Transexual" sounds weird to me anyway so it'll be easy to avoid.
Radix865
But sex and gender can be synonyms.
TakoLover
I mean sure, you're allowed to be wrong =p
Radix865
I meant the textbook definition: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sex
Like sex is used as a word for gender in jokes quite often.
HedonistBeard
Your confusion is easier to understand when you realize that joke is so old the term gender was not commonly known, if even invented yet.
Dxoh
Did you not read the page you posted? It specifically says that gender and sex have been differentiated for at least 25 years, maybe more.
HedonistBeard
No, they can't - but your sex and gender can be the same thing. Or not. Hence why they're not synonyms.
Radix865
Is this something I don't get because english isn't my first language? Like I already responded to the other person, I meant it as a textbook definition. I thought they both can mean the same thing just one is out of use mostly since it's used for something else much more often.
HedonistBeard
It used to be used incorrectly but is being corrected. Sex is your physical/medical situation, and gender is your social/identity situation.
powwerbottom
Sex is your chromosomes and phenotypes, gender is how you identify and wish to present.
elvianempire
sex is biological, gender is what they identify as. they can be same (cis) or not (e.g. trans, but also nonbinary). some languages do not have separate words.
sometimesarobot
If your preference is trans, though?
TakoLover
Personally yeah, it's easier to say imo.
Hextator
The word for that would still not be "transsexual" because transsexual is a term for people that have had surgery (and not all transgender people have had surgery, or will, so calling a random transgender person "transsexual" isn't just offensive (especially if they don't prefer the term), it can also just be objectively wrong)...

Yes I was just asking what the term would be for, say, preferring a lady with a dick.
Hextator
...but the word for "prefers transgender people" isn't necessarily "chaser", either, because genital preferences are a thing, and they are valid. If it becomes problematic (read: dehumanizing/objectifying), THEN the person causing the problem is a chaser.

...no, that would still just be a chaser.
