What is the difference (if any) between transgender and transexual?
I'd like to know: what is the difference, if any, between transgender and transexual?
Transgender is an umbrella term that encompasses a range of gender identities and expressions. It generally refers to individuals whose gender identity is different from the one they were assigned at birth. Transexual, on the other hand, is an older term that is less commonly used. It refers to individuals who seek medical interventions, such as hormone therapy and gender confirmation surgery, to physically transition from one sex to another.
