Homosexual” Transsexual is offensive because it implies that they e men who like other men! Why don you say “androphilic” instead?
For some reason, several websites run by autogynephilic transsexuals have strong objections to the term “homosexual transsexual”. It’s not fair for them to insist that we use “androphilic” to describe ourselves, its just another way that they appropriate and attempt to control our identity. Though we do not “fit in” well enough as gay boys when we are young to make this work for us, we acknowlege that we come from that population and are etiologically related. The transsexual aversion to the term “homosexual transsexual” strikes us as somewhat homophobic. The reason transkids.us prefers the term homosexual transsexual over androphilic transsexual is because it’s more specific and it accurately reflects the etiological development of this population. Androphilic can also be used to describe AGPs who are bisexual or AGPs who are attracted to men exclusively post-transition (pseudo-androphilia) or other variations. Homosexual is useful because it denotes exclusive orientation towards men
