As noted in Nicholas Clarksons Terrorizing Transness, most terms under the trans hypernym (transsexual, transvestism, cross-dresser, etc.) are used interchangeably, especially by collectives external to the trans community, creating discontinuity at best, and misinformation at worst.[7] Professor Emerita of Gender and Womens Studies Susan Stryker defines transgender as individuals who cross over ( trans- ) the boundaries constructed by their culture to define and contain that gender .[8] Clarkson draws similar conclusions but delineates a particular difference between transgender and transsexual: the former is concerned with individual identity, while the latter has certain medicalized connotations i.e., has been under some form of surgery.[9] Scholar Stephen Whittle outlines transsexuality in a similar manner and is the most operational in definition, including a presumed sense of incongruity or dysphoria with ones anatomical sex, thus seeking medical aid to rectify that imbalance.[10] Such a definition, however, excludes individuals who either (a) dont have access to medical aid, (b) cant afford it, or (c) have no desire to do so
