Transsexual

The term "transsexual" rarely appears in the Leisure Suit Larry games. It does appear in Larry Lovage games & Laffer Utilities as butt of several jokes with little context.

Background
Larry Laffer sits in Lefty's Too reading personal ads and doesn't know what 'bicurious' or 'transsexual' means.

Transsexual is a random word in the Headline Generator in Laffer Utillities.

Larry Lovage has an option to make reference to 'transsexuals' during some of his conversation mini-games. He also makes reference to sex change operations among transsexuals, as well as referencing "Transsexual Rights" bills in the government.

Quotes

 * And prepare for the world's filthiest ball-draining collection of Asian pre-op transsexuals...
 * But if anyone can pass that Transsexual Rights bill through the Senate, it's a...
 * Never order transsexual strippers to a Daughters of the American Revolution Chapter Fundraiser.

Behind the scenes
LSLR has what may be a trans joke.


 * "Bear doesn't seem to respond to your doggy talk. Maybe he isn't "male-identified." "Hiya, Bear! Who's a good girl? Who's a good little girly poochy poo?" "Bear still doesn't seem to respond to your sickening doggy speech. Maybe he prefers a more heteroflexible, less gender-specific label that's still going to acknowledge his present preferred identification."

These games were released long before terms such as 'transgender' or 'transwoman' were used publically, or became popular.

As Webster Defines the term:
 * of, relating to, or being a person whose gender identity is opposite the sex the person had or was identified as having at birth

Some define it to be those who physically 'transition' from one sex to another, by chemical or surgical procedures, usually permanent and irreversible.

It's never specified but Koko might be a transsexual, or a Transvestite with homosexual lifestyle/fetish. However, the game tries to make it out to be a 'homosexual' experience. The jokes tend to stick to the outdated trope of situation being 'gay', and is likely another reference to The Crying Game.
