Even a very basic term like 'transgender' is often being misused. Transgender is an umbrella term for people whose gender identity and/or gender expression differs from what is typically associated with the sex they were assigned at birth So even males who identify as male but intentionally grow breasts, feminize their bodies, or dress in women's clothes are transgender. That is, you don't have to want to be a women to be transgender.

I have to disagree with you on that. I went to Persad for about 14 years dealing with this stuff. They specialize in trying to suss out if people that CLAIM they're transgendered (a term even they used a lot and are rather militant about it! I guess it's like the difference between saying someone is retarded, as opposed to saying someone is a retard. Or, someone is unemployed, as opposed to, someone is an unemployee.) and, as I didn't fit the "confines" (for lack of the correct word) of being transgendered, i.e.: knowing from VERY young that I was in the wrong body or feeling like it just HAD to come off every time I looked at my plonker, not being able to WAIT anymore to become a woman, they would never call me that! I went to me weekly sessions wearing a skirt, bra, C or D cup sized tits, tight t-shirts so my tits were VERY evident, quite often shaving my legs and even wearing pantyhose sometimes, I even shaved my pits a few times!! But, to them, I was just a cross-dresser and NOT transgendered.
The way they see it, a transgendered person is not someone that is gay, or that just wears women's clothes from time to time, is just a "chick with a dick", or a guy that just wants to grow tits. For that matter, that was actually pretty new to them!! They couldn't figure out why I would just be okay with being a guy with tits, but not the chop-chop! They see a transgendered person or a transsexual as someone pre-op that lives as a woman full time and has most DEFINITE plans of getting a sex change or has already had one!
