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.
Transgender people, who identify as the opposite gender to the one they were born with, should no longer be considered mentally ill, according to a new UN categorisation. The World Health Organization issued a new catalogue Monday covering 55,000 diseases, injuries and causes of death, in which it discreetly recategorised transgenderism.[…] Several countries have already taken steps to reclassify transgenderism and take it off the list of mental disorders, including France and Denmark. Say said she thought the text, which is the result of years of discussion among experts, would easily win approval, despite widespread lack of acceptance of transgender people in many parts of the world.
gloss: A purported ideology behind transgender identities, trans activism and trans rights movements; transness as an ideology.

examples: Let us be free to debate transgenderism without being accused of 'hate speech'.
The dispute between radical feminism and transgenderism.
“If transgenderism is true, if men really can become women, then it’s true for everybody of all ages. If transgenderism is false ... it’s false for everybody too. And if it’s false, then ... for the good of society — and especially for the good of the poor people who have fallen prey to this confusion — then transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely — the whole preposterous ideology, at every level.”

examples: Speaking of cycling, most things are recycled: There are bins for paper and bins for cans. Most plastic throwables are simply not allowed (though organizers haven’t quite found a substitute for forks, spoons and knives).
Transforming objects’ states identically by manipulating them in the same way affords infants a way to begin constructing functional equivalence classes even when the objects do not belong to the same predicate class (Piaget, 1952a). For example, simultaneously throwing a doll and a cup transforms both into functionally equivalent ‘throwables.’
