Best Answer

Transvestites are NOT Transsexuals. A transvestite wants to keep their present sex parts, but wants to appear to be the opposite sex.

A transvestite is just another name for a crossdresser.

A transsexual is a person born with a gender different than their physical sex.

Transgender is a term that has many meanings depending on who is using it: presently those who used to be called transsexuals are using it to describe themselves.

There are those who are 'gender-variant', or see themselves not fitting into the binary pattern that society appears to want us to fit into.

No one has any claim to the word and no one is right. If someone is using the word, the only way to know what they mean is by context.

How do you tell if your girlfriend is a man?

You probably have not known her for long. It is possible that she is a transvestite or a transsexual. Asking for an honest discussion on the topic is one way to approach this. If you have had sex and there are no male genitals, then she is a woman, and possibly transsexual. But you certainly deserve to know, if you have a relationship and possibly children in mind.


How do you know if you are a transsexual and not just a transvestite?

Transsexual individuals typically experience a strong and persistent identification with a gender different from the one they were assigned at birth, often leading them to seek medical intervention, such as hormone therapy or gender confirmation surgery, to transition physically. On the other hand, transvestite individuals may dress in clothing traditionally associated with the opposite gender occasionally or for various reasons but do not necessarily desire or pursue permanent physical changes to align with that gender identity. Consulting with a mental health professional specializing in gender identity can provide additional clarity and support.
