The
contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, which has been
designated as a contentious topic.
Just to demonstrate there is recent self-labeling with this term. There is a Venn diagram in this 2022 report (in the "Identity and the gender journey" section) that lists "transsexual" as one term people used to describe themselves.

A transsexual person is someone who experiences a gender identity that is inconsistent with their assigned sex, and desires to permanently transition to the sex or gender with which they identify, usually seeking medical assistance (including gender affirming therapies, such as hormone replacement therapy and gender affirming surgery) to help them align their body with their identified sex or gender.
This statement is false. You cannot transition to a different sex. Your sex is determined by your chromosomes and cannot be changed with any type of therapy or surgery.

A few months ago when I was reading this article there was a section called "biological factors" that doesn't seem to exist anymore, I would like to know if there was any reason for that. I feel like the article is less detailed and has more inaccuracies overall, although I only remember this example clearly

Minor suggestion
I think the second statement of the third paragraph in the blurb ("Transsexual people were once classified as mentally ill and subject to extensive gatekeeping by the medical establishment, and remain so in much of the developing world") should probably be changed to "remain so in much of the world", as this is a irrelevant distinction that is seriously unnecessary, many "developing" nations such as Brazil, Colombia and Argentina offer significantly more protection and rights to their trans citizens compared to "developed" countries such as Poland, China and most of the USA. The current phrasing feels biased and needlessly political, in an already controversial topic. (Besides offering no sources to this specific point.)

The WPATH.org[1] site contains a link to the Standards of Care version 8 [2], where Chapter 2: Global Applicability, starting on page S15, it appears (17 using the page counter on the document itself) covers changes in health care views around the world, and does include some small focus on "developing" parts of the world. While I do show one source backing up the statement, on its face I agree with changing this part of the paragraph some. I don't think the phrase is biased or political, but it does appear to be undue.
