Ok... I have to give the left one thing they are correct on. We do not have a sufficient language to describe all phases of transition.

So, even in my framework that goes like this:
1) man/ woman
2) switched cloth => cross dresser
3) hormones -> MISSING LINK
4) operation -> trannie

we are missing a name clearly describing only the 3rd stage.
btw, fuck your feelings, they have nothing to do with this problem

Any good ideas on how to quickly describe the 3rd stage?
