    • 2000, Yaesu, 八重洲メディアリサーチ [Yaesu Media Research]‎[1], archived from the original on September 19, 2000:
      ちなみに、なぜ日本で「TS」が一般的になったかというと、私が「yaysの性転換の館」開始時に、性同一障害に関するサイトから「TS」という用語を拝借してきて盛んに使っていたのも一因かもしれません。
      By the way, as for why 'TS' became popular in Japan, it might be because when I started 'Yays Gender Transformation Mansion,' I borrowed the term 'TS' from websites related to gender dysphoria and used it extensively.

    • 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.
