no worries, people typically use “transgender” or “trans” as an umbrella term these days

I have heard of folks who claim the label “transveatite” for themselves. Others see it as derogatory.

I suspect there may have been a misunderstanding of my earlier comment that led to this chain.

Where I wrote above:

That wasn't a statement about being transgender. I was saying that people judge clothing, and are confused by that clothing. "Public" being about clothing, because there aren't many public places where you're going to see enough skin for anything else to cause confusion.

("vest" as in vestments, clothing).
