The answer is NO! Homosexual falls in the category of sexual orientation, i.e., what gender does an individual prefer to have sex with. Transvestite is one of many terms in the category of 'gender identity', i.e., which sex do you perceive yourself to be in your brain/mind. Other terms that fall into gender identity are crossdresser and transsexual. Sexual orientation and gender identity are independent things -- and often confused.

∙ 6y agoIt seems hard to separate the two but Transsexuals are people who transition from one sex to another. Transgender, unlike transsexual, is a term for people whose identity, expression, behavior, or general sense of self does not conform to what is usually associated with the sex they were born in the place they were born.
It is often said sex is a matter of the body, while gender occurs in the mind.

Transsexual and transvestite are both terms used for someone that is transgender, or has received a series of operations and shots to change their gender. They both mean the same thing. You know you want to become transgender if you look back and can't remember a time when you were ever truly happy or comfortable with your gender. You know you are transgender when you can officially and legally say that you are a male [if you were born female] or that you are a female [if you were born male].
Is that true that most transgender people are gay?
Note: Please do not merge this question with similar questions using the word "transsexual." Transsexual persons are born with their condition and seek to eliminate it. They don't choose to become transsexual. Many transsexual persons find being lumped with transgendered persons to be offensive, and some even oppose the transgender and/or LGBT Communities.This is difficult to answer, but it seems the answer is no. A transgendered person is either someone who chose to vary their gender expression or who will never get surgery. For many, transgenderism is only recreational. No study has been done on this.
