"Transsexualism" is a medical term, so I don't find content that uses the word are very trans-friendly. You always end up with condescending phrasings or wrong pronouns or other blurbs about how sick and sad trans people are.
I don't even consider myself trapped in the wrong body so I fail to relate to this sort of account. I'm perfectly happy with my out-of-ordinary, modified body. <3
I also think thinking we're women or men from birth completely miss the point of identity being a constructed thing, even though you don't have control over it. At birth you're not necessarily already pre-set as an individual. Masculine and feminine only are opposite according to the traditional view of gender so describing trans people are having the opposite anything in comparison to the standard anything is a misconception to me.
