Example Sentences
- "the International Journal of Transgenderism"
- "Transexualism. Where the compulsive urge reaches beyond female vestments, and becomes an urge for gender ("sex") change, transvestism becomes "transexualism." The term is misleading; actually, "transgenderism" is meant, because sexuality is not a major factor in primary transvestism. Psychologically, the transexual often differs from the simple cross-dresser; he is conscious at all times of a strong desire to be a woman, and the urge can be truly consuming."
- "To the same end, I steer clear from any "far out" explanation of the transgender phenomenon. I have seen a speaker have an audience fairly well with her and then, in the space of a few minutes, alienate a substantial number of them by trying to tie transgenderism to the concept of reincarnation."
- "Instead of searching for physiological causes of transgenderism, the early psychoanalysts proposed possible psychological origins for cross-dressing and transgenderism."
- "We will briefly discuss the interaction of gender orientation and sexuality, including transgenderism."
- "In this wider sense, transgenderism is on a continuum line with the condition of anyone who may seek to live a life that is authentic to themselves as individuals."
