Transgender is a State of One's "Gender Identity"

Transgender....

is a general term applied to a variety of individuals, behaviors, and groups involving tendencies that diverge from the normative gender role ( woman or man ) commonly, but not always, assigned at birth, as well as the role traditionally held by society. Transgender is the state of one's "gender identity" ( self identification as a woman, man, or neither) not matching one's "assigned sex" (identification by others as male or female based on physical/genetic sex) Transgender does not imply any specific form of sexual orientation, transgender people may identify as heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, pansexual, polysexual, or asexual, some may consider conventional sexual orientation labels inadequate or inapplicable to them. published by wiki/Transgender

Transsexual Reffered to With Assigned to Target Terms F2M, M2F

Transsexual..

The word "transsexual" is most often used as an adjective rather than a noun - a "transsexual person" rather than simply "a transsexual". Transsexual people prefer to be referred to by the gender pronouns and terms associated with their target gender. For example, a transsexual man is a person who was assigned the female sex at birth on the basis of his genitals. but despite that assignment identifies as a man and is transitioning or has transitioned to a male gender role and has or will have a masculine body. Transsexual people are sometimes referred to with "assigned-to-target" sex terms such as "female-to-male" for a transsexual man or "male-to-female" for a transsexual woman. These terms may be abbreviated as "M2F", "F2M", "MTF", "F to M", etc. These terms are particularly helpful in preventing confusion, because to some people the term "transsexual woman" is a female transitioning to become a male, and to others a male transitioning to become a female.When the terms trans woman and trans man are used though, it is typical for them to be used to refer to the gender that the person identifies with, regardless of their appearance or state of transition. published by wiki/Transsexual
