a human being whose gender identity differs from her/his genetic sex...male to female (M2F) or female to male (F2M)...s/he may have gone through gender/sex reassignment surgery (post-op) or not yet (pre-op) or never (non-op)...

not to be confused with: intersexed - one born with mixed or ambiguous genetics; crossdresser or transvestite - one who dresses in the attire of the opposite sex, for males anything from panties or stockings to dresses and makeup; drag queen or drag/king - one who performs in attire of the opposite sex, usually a gay male or female entertainer...

transgender is simply an umbrella term for all of the above...the vast majority are crossdressers...NOT transexuals...wearing a dress, however pretty, does NOT mean that a guy is a transexual...and transexuals can be straight, gay or bi...

i can't believe the crap that's been written here about transexuals...it's all about gender identity and NOT just expression...

A term for a man who wishes to be a woman or is in the transition to becoming a true woman. Different than 'transvestite'

A term used by trans(s)exuals to take back the word from the medical community.

1. Any trans person that has had genital reassignment surgery or genital reconstruction surgery.

2. A very out-of-date, old-fashioned term for describing a person identifying as transgendered. It should be noted that this term is largely perceived as derogatory by the trans community, especially ftm's.

3. Completely unrelated to cross dressing/transvestism.

Is when a person identifies themselves with a physical sex that is different to their own biological one, A medical diagnosis can be made if a person experiences discomfort as a result of a desire to be a member of the opposite sex. for example a person may be born male, and is uncomfortable with their gender as a male and changes to a female, or a female may change to a male. It is a long process that they will go through and an expensive one too. "Transgender"

Usually refers to a "person" with XY chromosomes the cause male secondary features but that "person's" brain is wired like a XX or a females brain. Often confused with a faggot, but more of a guy who wants to be a girl and have sex with straight guys. So they take estrogen, have their penis wacked off and turned into a vagina, and have implants to make breasts and dress up and use make up like girls. Tell tale signs are seeing a large male Adams apple on the neck of what looks like a girly girl.
