A transsexual person is someone who is born with a sense of gender that is opposite their body and who feels they need sex reassignment surgery.
A TV or transvestite is a person who has a gender identity that matches their genitals but who dresses up as the other sex on occasion. When it is not a fetish, crossdresser is the preferred term. Transvestite is a more clinical word which implies a mental health condition.

What does fully functional mean in transsexual terminology?
In transsexual terminology, "fully functional" typically refers to an individual who has undergone gender-affirming surgeries and hormone therapy, allowing them to align their physical characteristics and sexual function with their gender identity. This often means having the ability to engage in sexual activity in a manner that feels authentic to their gender. The term can vary in meaning depending on personal experiences and definitions within the transgender community.
Is a transsexual a disorder?
Yes. Transsexualism is a physical disorder caused by hormone imbalances in the womb during the mother's pregnancy. It is not the same as being transgendered. A baby is born with a brain of one gender, and a body of the other sex. To clarify: Physical sex is what body someone has. Gender Identity is a person's gender; their brain's sex and who they are as a person. This is inside. Transsexual people's gender identity is different from their physical sex, and this causes problems, as you may know. Sexual Orientation is your choice of partner and is directly related to the body's sex. Transgender is the umbrella term for all gender-nonconforming people, be it bigender, non-gender, genderqueer, two-spirit -- just, anyone who doesn't identify strictly with either male or female. However, having transsexualism does not mean you are a gender-nonconforming person. The word transsexual is reserved for those who identify opposite of their bodies and who will eventually change their bodies to become gender-conforming. A transsexual person only identifies with ONE gender.

How do you know if you are a transsexual and not just a transvestite?
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].
What does gender identity crisis mean?
A gender identity crisis occurs when an individual experiences uncertainty or distress about their gender identity, where they may question or struggle to understand their own sense of gender. This can involve feelings of confusion, discomfort, and a disconnect between one's assigned gender at birth and their internal sense of self. People in this situation may seek support, therapy, or exploration to better understand and come to terms with their gender identity.

What does transsexual mean?
Transsexualism means someone is born with the body of one sex, and the neurology, soul, essence, and being of the other sex. Such persons often have an intense hatred for their genitals of birth. If you look at the word, "trans+" means "to cross" and "+"sexual" refers to the genitals. So it is a person who needs surgery to cross from having the wrong set of genitals to the correct set of genitals. Implied in the notion of transsexualism is a gender dichotomy (ie., only two genders). If a person can be born with the wrong body, then there has to be a correct body.It is bad form to think of a transsexual person as a "man who becomes a woman," or a "woman who becomes a man." Think of them as always having been a member of the sex/gender they claim to be. A transsexual woman gets surgery because a woman is supposed to have a vagina, not a penis. She gets the surgery to feel complete and to conform more to what she always knew herself to be. A transsexual woman is not a "man becoming a woman," but a "woman getting corrective surgery to be more like any other woman." A transsexual man is not a "woman becoming a man," but "a man getting corrective surgery to be more like other men." You don't get surgery to become the other sex, but because you believe you already are the other sex. Not every transsexual person can afford corrective surgery, but every truly transsexual person wants a body that matches who they are.You can also go to Google and type "a primer on transsexuality" and click the first link.A transsexual is a person whose gender identity does not match their outward biological sex as determined at birth. They usually change their genital organs to align with their gender identity. They live as a member of a different sex than what they were assigned at birth. They prefer to be called the gender label that matches their gender identity. The body has nothing to do with who someone is.A person born with transsexualism is born with brain neurology does not match the biological sex doctors assigned to them at birth. They correct their sex to match who they really are. People who live as a member of a different sex than they were assigned at birth need to be called man or woman as appropriate for their corrected sex. Gender identity and biological sex do not always match in a person, and genuine transsexuals seek to destroy this difference through hormones and surgery. Sex is determined primarily by secondary sex characteristics, while gender identity is an inborn, hardwired part of the brain.A person with transsexualism is a male or female born with parts which do not match who they are. So one could be wrongly born with male parts, but their mind says they are female and vice versa. There are doctors who specialize in gender identity issues, even in children and teens. Transsexual persons take hormones so their body can match who they are. Then they can get the corrective surgery to become an official and full member of the sex they truly were all along. The birth condition of transsexualism has little to do with transgenderism, gender variance, nor gayness.
What are the signs of a woman being transsexual?
A woman being transsexual.. Do you mean a Female-to-Male, or Male-to-Female? IS it her body that is female or her brain? Aye that does not matter. Any transsexual person shows signs of being the other gender early in life. At 5-7 years old the person discovers and tries becoming themselves, whether or not "themself" matches their bodies.
Is trans female and gay the same?
Not necessarily. Think of it this way. Your body, your gender identity, your gender role, and your sexual orientation are all four different things. Gay means you like someone of the same sex. But not all transsexual nor transgender people have sexual attractions at all. If a person dresses or lives as a woman, it is because they believe they are a woman, not because they want to sleep with a certain partner. While up to 90% of women have sex with men, it doesn't mean they all do, and there is no reason to assume it is any different for transsexual nor transgender women.

What does gender identity mean?
Gender identity is the deep and prevailing sense about who you are, as to whether you are a man/boy or a woman/girl. It stems from the most basic parts of who you are inside, and it has nothing to do with choice or what genitals you have. It is gender identity which drives people to take hormones and alter their genitalia with surgery. They don't transition to become the "other sex," but because at a certain level, they are already that "other sex." They need to be treated by others in a way consistent with who they have always been inside. The need to transition has nothing to do with libido nor any sexual urges. A good number of transsexual persons are of the asexual orientation. That is ironic when the sex industry spreads the notion that people with transsexualism are promiscuous, when they have a similar or lower sex drive as that of the identified gender.
