If you have feelings of being female, crossdress and discover that you actually ARE a woman, you are most definitely transgender. Otherwise, if you don't tie your crossdressing to how you see your gender, you aren't LGBTQ. The fact that many crossdressers are also bisexual simply means that they are bisexual (and thus LGBTQ), but that is sexuality and not gender that is the determining factor in that case.
