(copied and pasted) If I recall correctly, transsexual refers to a sexual preference towards transgender people, not transgender itself. Gender and sexuality are two different things, IIRC.

If I recall correctly, transsexual is not the correct term used for transgender people. Gender and sexuality are two different things, IIRC.
\"An older term that originated in the medical and psychological communities. Still preferred by some people who have permanently changed - or seek to change - their bodies through medical interventions (including but not limited to hormones and/or surgeries). Unlike transgender, transsexual is not an umbrella term. Many transgender people do not identify as transsexual and prefer the word transgender. It is best to ask which term an individual prefers. If preferred, use as an adjective: transsexual woman or transsexual man.\"
