Now I'm really confused.

The first article uses the term "transgender."

The second article uses the term "transsexual."

If he/she still had male genitalia then I would think that "transgender" would be the appropriate phrase as I understand the definitions because I thought that "transsexual" referred to a whacko who has already had the surgery.

I'm sorry but I still say that people like this have bad miswirings in their brains.

Until a "transgendered" or "transexual" person can go from producing sperm to ovulating (or vice versa), it is merely cosmetic surgery with hormonal therapy to mask the secondary sex traits.

Calling them "plastic surgery recipiants" would keep them from barging into the restroom of members of the opposite sex, however.
