It’s apparently supposed to make a distinction between trans people before/after bottom surgery. I doubt that’s a common use for that word, but I still have a few points against that specifically:
- I don’t think it’s ok to make a distinction those in this way
- It straight up ignores that not everyone wants bottom surgery
- It’s not even the way ‘-sexual’ is used normally.
Most people just use it interchangeably with transgender to my knowledge.
If I hadn’t heard of it in context it’s commonly used in, I would think that it’s the attraction to trans people.
Idk if I’m making any sense here, I suck at saying/writing things that do
I’ve never heard GSM, I’ve only ever heard GSRM where the R stands for romantic, because, well, it’s different from sexual
Huh. Yeah, that is better.
tbh I see the term so rarely in the wild that I probably just saw GSM somewhere and it stuck in my brain. Oof
I remember seeing GSM a lot more like a decade ago and don’t remember seeing GSRM until more recently.
Oh that makes a lot of sense, I haven’t been around that long lol
