How can a transsexual woman become well-known without people calling her transgender in writings or lumping her in with transgender people?

Unless she keeps her transition in the closet, it's probably not going to happen. Some day, it won't matter, but for now, it's a topic of discussion among people.

What is meant calling a transsexual a chica?
Chica is just Spanish for the word girl. It is always correct to refer to a transsexual person by what they believe themselves to be and are trying to present to the world.
What do you call a man that is now a woman?
I would suggest calling her by her chosen name, the same way you would speak to anyone. Make sure that you use female pronouns. If you're asking in a more general sense, someone who has transitioned from the gender they were born as to the gender they feel more comfortable as is called either "transgender" or "transsexual." A woman who was born a man would be a MtF.
How can I get used to calling my transgender cousin by the pronoun and name of his preference?
Through repetition of only calling him those. Use his name and pronouns even when not around him and correct yourself if you misgender him in your heads. It takes time and practice.

Transsexual woman born with uterus 29 years old is it possible for a pregnancy?
That is a transsexual man. The gender term after the word transsexual is always who the person really is, not what their body was at birth. Calling a man born with female parts a woman is hurtful.But like anyone born with a uterus, pregnancy is usually possible. They would have to avoid taking male hormones when trying to get pregnant and during the course of the pregnancy. If they are on hormones, then they can only get pregnant if they can start menstruating.
What is a morfidite- actually a transgender person?
It is generally a slang term for someone who has male and female genitalia. Basically someone who is intersex; not all intersex people identify as transgender so no. It's all about what they choose to identify as. I would not suggest calling someone a morfidite even if they are intersex, for they may become offended.

How can a person learn what is politically correct statements?
You learn part of this by staying informed and being around different people. But there are also some simple hard and fast rules you can use too.1. Slurs are never appropriate, even when discussing politics or conversing with people you consider hateful or bigoted.2. A transsexual woman is not a "tranny," "shemale," nor "he-she," and when you use pronouns, simply use the ones that correspond to how the person is trying to present and their inner identity.3. The word "oriental" should only be used in reference to food or objects, never people. Use Asian to refer to people unless you know their exact nationality. You may own an oriental rug or enjoy an oriental meal, but you have Asian neighbors.4. Try to use medical terminology, gender identities, ethnicities, and sexual orientations as adjectives rather than nouns. Someone would be a "transgender person," not "a transgender."5. Use "who" to refer to people, and "that" to refer to objects and concepts. It is easy to use "that" when you really mean to use "who."Example: "This belongs to Jody who is in my math class."6. Avoid language that implies that someone has a fault. While "hearing impaired" might sound better, it implies there is something wrong with the other person. Also, the term "impaired" is also used to denote substance abuse, so it is not a flattering term. The term deaf is much easier to say and implies nothing other than the fact that someone cannot hear.7. Calling someone a "pervert" or calling a behavior "perverted" will likely offend others. But if you must speak from that angle, "sexually-motivated" may be a better word choice. That speaks to the motivation without judging the behavior nor the people who practice it.8. If in doubt, use the terminology that the other person is using. If a transsexual person uses the term transsexual, then they might not like it if you interchange the term transgender.
Is calling a person a Tranny offensive?
Yes, it usually is. However, in localized areas, some transgender folks might refer to each other as such in an endearing or reclaimed way, much like the way some racial slurs are used, but one should not take that for granted.
Are you gay to like transsexuals?
It depends what you are calling a transsexual and what you mean by "liking" them. If you mean a genuine transsexual person and they have had the surgery (or they are getting it and you won't touch them sexually until they've had it), then no. Just think of them as anyone with any other birth defect or medical condition. Does it make you gay to like a woman with cancer? If you are referring to male-born transgender persons who like having and keeping a penis, yes, it likely means you are gay. The fact that they love their penis means they have a male emotional core inside. When two people who act and think like men (including some effeminate variety of man) both have penises and have sex, it is gay sex. A man or his male partner putting on a dress doesn't turn gay sex into any other kind. If you merely like their appearance or admire their style or courage, no, it doesn't mean you are gay. It just means you have taste or love diversity.
How long does it take till it shows you have a transsexual disease?
There are no diseases that are specific to transsexual persons. They would be the same STDs that everyone else gets, and the incubation periods depend on the exact disease. AIDS, for instance, can take up to a year to be detected by blood tests. If you are calling transsexualism itself a disease, then it likely is evident early in life unless their childhood is very traumatic and the person represses their identity.
Is a transgender woman referring to an actual man or woman?
You should consider someone as whatever gender they choose to identify themselves as. If someone who was born a woman identifies as a male, you should consider them a male whether or not they have had gender reassignment surgery.
