    Sort of. I think it covers a range of things from trans to cross dressers.

    I think it’s just something we westerners used before trans people popped into existence over here about five years ago.

      Trans people didn’t “pop into existence,” they’ve always been here, even being an important group in the Stonewall riots.

      It’s just that it became more acceptable to come out, so reactionaries went full-on open season on them in an effort to force them back in the closet in an aggressive attempt to protect their own fragile identities.
