It makes me feel icky to type it out... The terms "tranny" and "transvestite" were very common nomenclature in the 90s. In conversation, movies, television. Trans people were often a punchline. And absolutely existed.

Transvestite, I believe, is also a term applied to intersex persons as well, as far as I know.... At least historically.

The condition of being intersex, as far as I'm aware, is a well known condition dating back really far.

Those people truly have no gender (and/or they're both genders? IDK), so "trans" doesn't really apply to them IMO.

People used to use hermaphrodite as a slur not that long ago for intersex people, as well.
