Visualize, please...
Male or Female --Society's perception of the gender binary.
transgender -- anywhere from 0 to 360 degrees. You may be comfortable with your sex , but not your gender.
transsexual --male to female, OR female to male. We seek, often, gender reassignment surgery.Just so our body matches our brain.
I USED to consider myself transgender, simply because I was tired of being thought of as a trans SEXUAL. Finally, we have clarity on this issue. I wish to change my sex organs to match who I am. Transgender folk do not.

Transgenders feel as tho they are mentally one gender but physcially another gender and uncomfortable. Transgendered people don't undergo surgery. Transsexuals are the same as transgendereds except that they do undergo surgery.

They are not the same.
Transgender includes: transsexuals, cross dressers, drag queens, and anyone with some form of gender identity issue.
Transsexual is specific. It refers to anyone who believes they should have been the opposite sex and follows through with hormone replacement therapy and optional sex reassignment surgery. Their goal is to live full time as the opposite sex, whereas cross dressers and drag queens do not.

Actually, Transgender means one that does not identify with a specific sex.
Transexual means one that identifies them selves as the opposite sex or who has undergone a sex change.

Trans-sexual wants to change sexes, trans-gender just wants to look like the other gender.

TG people want to change their appearance and image. TS people want to change their bodies.

Nothing. They are both the same. Sex also means gender.
