Use of Term Outside of Wikipedia

Hello-- was just reviewing a few stub pages and ended up at this one. I cited it years back in the GSSO ontology but now I'm starting to wonder if this term was astroturfed slightly through Wikipedia. While it seems a simple enough concept and it is a thing that happens, I can't find any significant linguistic resources that use this term to describe this phenomena that don't themselves cite this Wikipedia article, resulting in a tautological reference. Granted, I'm not a linguist and I don't have academic login credentials currently, but it seems most usages of this term relate instead to gay-ness (https://doi.org/10.1080/00926238408405793), cross-dressing (https://www.jstor.org/stable/3812224), transness (https://www.jstor.org/stable/3812224), gender dysphoria (https://doi.org/10.1016/0010-440X(84)90074-9), or sex transformation in the context of fictional characters (https://doi.org/10.17816/VGIK62110-119). Absolutely happy to be wrong here, but unless significant sources are added, I might want to move forward with possible deletion to prevent academic referencing issues that elevate the term.
