Transgender/Transvestite/Transsexual are similar and related terms with important distinctions.Whereas transgender refers to gender identity that doesn’t match a person’s assigned gender, transsexual people are transgendered people who wish to alter their bodies (such as through sex reassignment surgery or hormone therapy) in order to be accepted as a member of the sex opposite to one assigned to them at birth.
Transvestite is synonym for a cross-dresser.
