Transvestism is being deleted from the canon. It is deemed a 'problematic' and 'offensive' term by both Stonewall and GLAAD.

So in answer to your question, they are both bending history AND trying to make everyone fit under the singular transgender umbrella. Transexual has also been deemed 'problematic' by the same pair of groups amongst others.

Signed : A proud transvestite.

Edit : I should add the same groups have stated the same thing about the term 'homosexual' as well. Which is considered derogatory and offensive. With the recommended replacement being 'queer'.

This homosexual ain't playing that game.
