Define real. A "she-male" is most often a person born with both male parts and xy chromosomes; the person either has breast implants or gets hormones to grow breasts and reduce male characteristics (beard etc), in defining a she-male most cases they do not have genital reconstruction surgery so they still have a penis (and in some cases it still works like normal) so, no they are not a female. You are probably mistaking a she-male for a transgendered woman (not to be confused with a transsexual woman). The word female should never be used after the word transgender. They are women but can never be female. Being female means having XX chromosomes and a vagina.

A transgender person is anyone who is gender variant. Such a person may live as the other sex and never get corrective surgery, or they may consider themselves as part of a continuum, where they are not completely one or the other. There is controversy about whether this includes those born with transsexualism who get the surgery and seek to eliminate it. The transgender and LGBT lobby says they are, because that would be politically convenient and artificially inflate their numbers, all while colonizing a group of people who have views they feel are inconvenient for them. As for those who call themselves transsexuals, they are divided. Some have no problem with being called transgender, while others still claim they have more in common with cisgender people than transgender or LGBT folks. So transgender is mostly a political label.

A transsexual person was born with one set of male or female parts and often gets surgery on these to closely duplicate the organs of the opposite sex. They are a 'real' woman, nature just didn't give them parts to match their brain. They do not wish to be both or in between, they want to be one or the other. Transsexual persons never choose to be anything, it's something in their heads generally from birth.

There are also intersexed persons who's birth sex organs were ambivalent or both (rare) and some have mixed sex chromosomes: some have XXY some XYY, some XXYY, a few are just X or Y. Science is learning that sex is more than parts or chromosomes or eve sex and chromosomes, or even sex AND chromosomes; the central nervous system also plays heavily into sex. Gender is more than parts also; it's been used synonymmous to sex, but for clarity it is more related to social role than physical sex.

Of course it is okay to be a lesbian if you are a transgender woman - being transgender doesn't dictate your sexuality, that is something separate. Your sexuality is not something you can control or that other people can control, if you are a woman and attracted to other women you're likely a lesbian.
