Is it?  I didn't know that.  I thought it just came from the latin,
(or greek or whatever): trans meaning "across" and "vestment" clothing.
It certainly wasn't a slur when I first learnt the word, but 
meanings change...  Thanks for pointing this out.


Actually it was a thinko anyway.  I meant to type "transgender".
