A transgender woman is born a male and they simply live as women. They may take hormones. The proper name is transgender woman.

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.


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.

Are transsexual really women?

Transgender women are real in terms of them existing. If one is asking about whether they are genuine women or not is up to personal interpretation. Some would consider them as being on par with non-transgender (cisgender) women, while others would consider them valid members of their own separate gender. Then of course there are people who do not think positively about transgender women.


Does a transgender woman dress like a man?

A transgender woman generally dresses as a woman. Remember, when the word transgender or transsexual is used, the gender specified always refers to what the person believes themselves to be and are presenting themselves to be. It is unwholesome to care what parts any person was born with, and referring to transsexual or transgender women (those who live as women) as men is increasingly being considered hate speech. Referring to someone who is working hard to live as a woman and be accepted as a woman by male pronouns is done with as every bit as much hate as those who use racial slurs.
