'A transsexual' is a common grammatical error; 'transsexual' is an adjective, not a noun.
A transsexual person is someone who was born with a congenital neurological intersex condition called Benjamin's syndrome. There are transsexual men, and transsexual women.
We take hormones as part of the treatment for that condition.

A transexual is someone born with a gender identity disorder(Medical term).That is a feeling of being born the wrong gender.The normal medical treatment for this falls within the harry benjamin standards they are counseling followed by at least one year living in gender with hormones then sex reasignment surgery.Hormones allow the secondary sexual characteristics of the gender transexuals are on the inside to develop on the outside.Transexuals are different then cross dressers or others that live cross gender by the fact that they are more than happy to have the corrective surgery.Crossdressers and transgenders are happy with their birth anatomy.Also please don't confuse gender identity with sexual preference they are seperate issues.
