- 2015 June 4, F_TSF, “TSFとは [What is TSF?]”, in TSFのF [blog][3], archived from the original on August 10, 2015:
- TSFという言葉が使われ始める前(1999,2000年頃)には、Transsexualの略語であるTSという言葉が、前述のTSFの意味と同様の意味を表す言葉として用いられていました。この用法は、八重洲性転換の館(現:八重洲メディアリサーチ)の主催者である八重洲さんの提案によるものです。なお、今でも多くの人がTSFと同じ意味でTSという言葉を使っています。
- Before the term TSF came into use, the abbreviation "TS," standing for Transsexual, was used to convey a similar meaning around 1999-2000. This usage was proposed by Yaesu-san, the organizer of Yaesu Gender Transformation Mansion (now: Yaesu Media Research). Many people still use the term "TS" with the same meaning as TSF.
