What is the difference between transvestism and transsexualism?

∙ 15y ago
transsexual - who believes him or herself to have been born into a body of the wrong gender, and may seek surgical and hormonal gender reassignment - and the transvestite, who cross-dresses but does not desire to change his or her physical body. They are only similar in that the self-perception of the person in question is not the same as mainstream society perceives them. In most cases and points TS and TV are totally different: as a TS, one believes in the binary gender system of society, just someone made a mistake when parts were handed out and they got the wrong parts. A TV has behaviors and self-perceptions about themselves that do not fit into the binary gender theory generally accepted as fact by society. There is more to them than just one gender can exhibit.

Can someone be born a transsexual?
Yes. Most with transsexualism are born that way, they usually knew they had it before age 6, and they get the surgery to stop having transsexualism.

Transsexualism is a diagnosis while transgenderism is mostly a self-identity.
