    Transvestite: refers to a person who cross-dresses. Maybe be used to describe a cross-dresser with type of sexual orientation.Cross-dresser: specifically denotes a heterosexual transvestite. Transexual: refers to a person who identifies with a physical sex (physiology) that is different from one in which they were born, e.g. the classic 'man trapped in a woman's body' or vice versa. Transgender: a generic term denoting a state in which one's gender identity (self identity as 'man', 'woman', 'neither', or 'both') does not match one's assigned gender identity (societal identity as per before). Transgender does not imply any sort of sexual orientation at all. To date, there is no single, precise definition for 'transgender'.

    Well, the thing is that your sexual preference is a different deliberation to your gender identity, and your clothing preferences... they are disjunctive. To further complicate things, your gender identity need not necessarily match your DNA.   The various terms are often mis-used. In that thread for instance, most people that responded had the impression that a "tranny" was a man that had a cock but also had breasts to make "him" look like a chick. That isn't necessarily so and it can be pretty insulting to take that opinion of a person.  I've met a transgender females to male recently... that is.. a man with a pussy, for instance... who considered himself to be gay because he only liked screwing men. I mean, there's any number of combinations for sexual preference, gender identity and fashion sense.. lolz.. and frankly its the labels that confuse people. Drop the labels and go with the flow... follow your erection... and you will have more fun. :P     Hugs Gazza
