opinions on being called transsexual?

my feelings are kind of mixed on being called that, while yes i fit the description being a binary trans man with full intent on medically transitioning, i dislike being called transsexual. i have no issue with people who do but calling myself one feels… odd, reminds me of my trans med phase almost, and especially cis people calling me that feels even worse. anyone else have this? how do you guys view being called transsex? (again zero hate towards people that do like that term, we all have our preferences)
