Just What Is 'transgender' Anyhow?
Hey girls, I am confused as to what 'transgender' means.
Is this different from 'transexual'?
Does this reflect on sexual orientation?
What does being transgender entail?
How does one know if they are transgender or should consider themself transgendered?
I just know so little and I was wondering if I should call myself transgendered becasue I am an avid cross-dresser or not. Please help shed a little light on this for me; thank you all so much! This is a sensitive topic for me.
Everyone has their own idea

I was going to check out wikipedia anyhow. I guess you beat me to the punch! Thanks Kieron!
And to the rest of you girls out there...anything else I should know about what it means to be transgender?
So the links are a start.
The definitions are changing. Ask 100 people and will probally get 100 answers for those definitions.
For some of us that feel were are in the wrong body but cannot do anything about it is hard to define. I do not even like gender confused but for me it says it.
I feel that a TG person is in the wrong body and a TS person is also but is going through the change. So my :2c: But that is not what most would see it. Most people (non TG) see TG and TS the same definition. It was but that is changing.
So throw a dart to get the definitions and in a year it will be different.:rolleyes:
