baril coined these terms in his thesis once he became aware of the absence of work on the realities of people with disabilities in intersectional feminist analyses. his goal was to understand the development of "expository discourses (etiology and suggested treatment methods) surrounding traceability, and the effects of such discourses on the reception (positive or negative) of transabled testimonials." faced with the absence of respectful vocabulary in the french language, baril chose to create new terminology to avoid using the existing terms, whose negative connotations can undermine the realities of these individuals.
