And then there is real life...
Transvestite is the original term for crossdresser, it has nothing to do with having a fetish though that is what it has become synonymous with in the US.
Like it or not, transgender is the mainstream medias new pet word for all things transsexual.
If you say the word crossdresser to Joe or jane Shmoe they will conger up an image of a gay man in a dress.
Transsexual as a term is becoming obsolete.
The subtle nuances of the so called "TG umbrella" are lost on most people.
