So I’m the orginal coiner of transseverity. It was my first ever radqueer coining but I’m not 100% happy with it. Based on a couple of my own ideas and ways I’ve seen it used I am making a new coining post to expand upon the original definition. I also wanna coin 2 subterms well I’m at it.
A transid identity were one identfies as having/desires a different severity/intensity of a certain aspect of themselves. What counts as a different severity/intensity is up to the user.
This can apply to disability but can also apply to other things like trauma, expriences, emotions, identity or anythimg else you can think of! You can use severi- or intense- as a prefix in a simlar way to trans.
I realised that transseverity can apply to a lot more than just disablity so I’m opening up the term. I’ve noticed some people using severi- as prefix before so decided to add it to the og def.
I’m also adding transintensity as an alt word as there are some situtions were using intensity would make a lot more sense.
For example, if someone wants there age to be felt more strongly and be more prominent in their life, this is along the same lines as transseverity but the word severity doesn’t fully fit do so intensity is there as an alternitive.
New subterms:
Superseverity/Superintensity
A subterm of transseverity/intensity specifing that one wants/identifies with the aspect being more severe/intense.
Prefix: Superseveri-/Superintense-
Subseverity/Subintensity
A subterm of transseverity/intensity specifing that one desires/identfies with the aspect being less severe/intense.
Prefix: Subseveri-/Subintense-
Made the subterms as there was simply a need for them.
There is also some people who seem to think that transseverity only means more severe and not different severity. This is partially my fault as I only gave more severe examples in the og post as that was my personal exprience. I want to make it clear that transseverity will always include both less and more severe.
