Classification of transsexual and transgender people → Classification of transgender people – Our transsexual article states that it is a subcategory of transgender, so the current title is tautological (and somewhat outdated). Not sure if this is a possible candidate for merging? GnocchiFan (talk) 19:25, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Given our article actually says The term transsexual is a subset of transgender, but some transsexual people reject the label of transgender I think the current title is fine. There is clearly some controversy here. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:18, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Support - Transgender is the umbrella term, so it makes sense and anyone looking for the older term will still find it through the redirect that would be left behind. Raladic (talk) 01:24, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Support — "Transsexual" is most commonly a dated, deprecated term. We used it in the 90s, but it's been largely superseded by "transgender" now. The title feels tautological to me. —  OwenBlacker (he/him; Talk) 18:56, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Support, for the reasons already given by Raladic and OwenBlacker. &#45;sche (talk) 02:11, 12 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Support. I think "Classification of transgender people" is more concise and more up-to-date Qwaabza (talk) 20:43, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
