The point of FtM/MtF transition is to approximate the phenotype organized around the opposite type of gamete - that is, to develop the opposite secondary sex traits, remove internal reproductive organs, and reconfigure external genitalia (or, in the case of TSMs, to wear or use a prosthetic). 1/2⤵️

There are two axes ⬆️➡️: one for typology and one for function.

The male seahorse phenotype — still organized around the production of small gametes — functions in such a way that the male fertilizes the female’s eggs after they have been transferred to his brood pouch.
Humans are not seahorses, and male seahorses do not conceive; they possess testes.

Moreover, their non-permanent transitional status means they cannot be medically categorized as the opposite sex.

This is a cissexual by typology - but transsexual according to function.

No. Biomedical convention is legal sex recognition according to functional/phenotypic sex.
It is the reason intersex women with XY chromosomes such as CAIS and Swyer are legally considered female, and not retroactively changed to male.
Here’s an example:

Any effeminate cissexual male or masculine cissexual female can fit into the DSM 5 ‘gender dysphoria’ criteria.
The very fact that he’s effeminate and she’s masculine fits the 2/6 highlighted criteria.

The DSM 3/3-R, as an example had a very precise criteria that fits every sex incongruent and sex dysphoric individual and that didn’t risk misdiagnosis of cissexual gender nonconformists.
Persistent sense of incongruence and dysphoria with PRIMARY as well as secondary sex traits.

These numbers are staggering, and could we possibly be surprised with such an incredibly broad criteria?

The word ”gender” instead of ’sex’ complicates things. Gender could be used as a polite synonym for sex, but it could also refer to sicko-cultural roles.
Then that you only need to fulfil two out of sex criterion and if they fulfil 6/6 it still divides people into non-ops vs. pre-ops/desire SRS

That’s not true. Here’s how transsexual is defined.

Sex is largely binary, with few exceptions (depending on how one looks at it).
Gender is just a social delineation of sex.

Not to mean: “a transgender person who undertakes some sort of medical transition”.
BUT to mean: someone with a cross-sexual sense of self — a sense of incongruence with their natal sex (including both reproductive anatomy and secondary sex traits) — and who desires HRT and SRS.

Transsexualism is a sex-based condition.
Transgender identity a culture-based condition.
In the words of the late and great sexologist and expert in transsexualism Dr. Milton Diamond:

Experience of congruence with the most categorically and definably sexed aspects of natal body sex - and only a desire to change secondary sex traits can hardly be considered transsexualism in any truly meaningful sense.

Ok? So do you have a cross-sexual sense of self and experience a sense of incongruence with your natal body sex?
And how about the gametes, gonads - are you nullifying them? How about genitalia are you planning to reconstruct it?
Otherwise what you describe is pseudo-transsexualism.

Transsexualism = brain-based sense of incongruence with natal sex (primarily reproductive parts - but obviously the whole sex of the body).

Sex is primarily defined by primary sex organs and traits in biology = so transsexual implies bottom and reproductive incongruence, not just secondary sex traits.
