transsexual is changing from one sex to the other, medically.(surgery and drugs) transvestite is when one sex dresses in the others' clothing.(man in dress) transgender is basically the same as transsexual without the x rated pictures........if you are truly confused then here's one to add to the mix! hermaphrodite...someone who is biologically both sexes.

transsexual is someone who wants to be the oposite sex of what they are, transvestite is a man who dressess and acts like a woman and transgendered is someone who has had the surgery to change their sex organs

transsexual is someone trapped in the wrong gender, transvestite is someone that dresses in the opposite genders clothes and trans gender is when they go all the way.
