    Yeah, we just called trans folk hermaphrodites or transexuals or some other words than we use now. Language has been fluid but the concept is not new. Hell, I grew up familiar with it and I was pretty naive.

      Hermaphrodites are a completely different thing. They are not trans, well I guess they could be but hermaphrodite is not what people used to call trans people.
