I grow quite weary of these mentally ill males (as they definitely aren’t even men) trying to systematically (I found a use of a democratic talking point word) appropriate everything they can from real women. No, you cannot have our ability to have babies, our softness yet strength, our beauty, our feminine attributes, or the love from our men, real men.
No, transsexual was dropped in favor of transgender because they are different words that mean different things. Transsexuals are people who have undergone a medical sex change. Not all transgender people have done so or want to do so.

I find it interesting that in your post you differentiate between sex and gender.
The definition of “Gender” in old dictionaries is about “gendered language” like Las Los etc.
Later the word “gender” seems to have changed its defintion, to now be about how a person presents themselves, example as male or female.
Now the words gender and sex are routinely conflated to mean the same thing,
Which is why the word transsexual was dropped in favor of transgender.
My suspicion is that they were using word games to get around reality.
That reality being, that nobody can ever change their sex.
However, it is arguably possible for people can change their presentation (male or female) quite easily,
So by conflating sex/gender, they have deluded themselves into thinking if a man puts on a dress, he magically has a sex change
