For example, a transgender person is born in a boy's body, but feels like they should be a female. Everything about them "feels" female but their genitalia says otherwise. See the movie "Boy's Don't Cry" to see an example of this or "A Girl Like Me." Typically they are heterosexual, using the way that they feel. So just because they have male genitalia and are attracted to men does not make them gay because they feel like they are a woman.

Transgender is an overarching term applied to a variety of individuals, behaviors, and groups involving tendencies that diverge from the gender role (woman or man) commonly, but not always, assigned at birth.
Transgender is the state of one's "gender identity" (self-identification as male, female, both or neither) not matching one's "assigned gender" (identification by others as male or female based on physical/genetic sex).

Transgender is when someone is born with the gender identity (brain) opposite of their physical sex.
A really good description is at http://www.sarabecker.com/t/gender_identity_disorder%20letter.htm
