This is misunderstanding of the problem. It is not about a definition or redefinition of a word. Transsexual persons want to be recognized and treated by other people as if they were of their desired sex and they are discontent and triggered by anything what somehow reminds them of what sex they really are. To hide the paradox, that they want to be recognized as sometheing they are not, and to avoid to be considered insane, they use the terms gender and gender identity, which itself are paradoxical, because they are both related and unrelated to sex. Gender and gender identity is used by them to say: Even though I am not a woman, I am a woman , because I desire and need to be a woman.
