[Very interesting article on the transgender/transsexual movement on college campuses. The article is long, over 2300 words, and and sympathetic; it also touches on some of the linguistic consequences, including the lexical semantics of "transgender" vs. "transsexual", the difference between "(fe)male-appearing", "(fe)male-assigned", and orientation, and of course the pronoun problem. Not only the obvious question of "she" vs. "he" for transgender students (most of the ones discussed here are biologically female but male-identified) but the sex-neutralizing of pronouns even at women's institutions like Smith ("she" and "her" replaced by "the student"), and the epicene pronoun issue.

Chauncey is a historian, not a linguist, but he devotes a good bit of attention to this terminology, is fairly careful, and has gobs and gobs of citations, from the 1890's on (police records, personal letters and recollections, minutes of organizations, novels, etc.) See especially the introductory section on these terms pp. 14-23. According to him, gay was used (as a "code term", i.e. argot) starting in the 1920's and 1930's; he has written citations from several novels of the 1930's, plus of course Bringing up Baby in 1938. On the other hand, fairy seems to have been the common slang term for gay men, used by straight and gay alike, as early as 1900 or before, at least in NYC; see the many citations in his Chapter 1. Faggot, queer, and trade [sic] were not far behind. (David Dowty)]
