Transgender is a catchall term for persons whose body is physically one single sex but the gender they have (the mind) may not match the physical sex or be between the sexes (ie., have some aspects of both feminine and male roles).

Persons suffering transsexualism go on to have surgery to correct the difference between mind and body, but most transgender persons are able to go without changes and either dress or act in the socially assigned role differently from the body's sex.

Those who are preparing for surgery are called transsexuals, not "transgendered", while those who have had the surgery are simply called women or men.

Your husband is 6ft 4in tall He was thin as a teen he started using testostrom patches to make him more manly he hates women and is a very mean person could he be a transgender?

Well, he could just be a jerk. Transgender would mean he has the mind of a girl, and that's not very feminine of him to act that way. Would a normal girl act anything like him? If not, then he's probably not transgender.
