Forgive me if I’ve been mislead, but from what I understand “transgenderism” is a term used by transphobes to diminish a legitimate phenomenon, implying it is a belief or fad.
Still upvoted for contributing to the discussion and for supporting an alien in his search for the universe’s best cup of coffee.
I know, that’s why I used that word in that context. They don’t care, they just see someone not extremely masculine or feminine, then think they must be trans. I got accused of “formerly having ‘rapid onset gender dysphoria’”, because I used to have long hair for metal reasons.
I always hear “transgender ideology” from transphobes, to make it more of a thought exercise and fad than a physical state of being. “Transgenderism” is a word I’ve been familiar with for decades but it may have been coopted or is being eschewed now, not sure.

Speaking from experience as well, ain’t nothing “rapid onset” about cultivating a properly metal head of hair.
I do appreciate the clarification though!
