Can anyone explain to me what the difference is between being transsexual and transgendered. Just trying to figure out where I am on this scale, or both.

transsexual and transgender encompasses one another and are in essence the same thing but with minute differences.

A good read would be : Transsexual and its relationship to transgender

Hence, transsexuality may be said to deal more with physical aspects of one's sex, while transgender considerations deal more with one's psychological gender disposition or predisposition, as well as the related social expectations that may accompany a given gender role.[38] Many transgender people prefer the designation transgender and reject transsexual.[39][40][41] For example, Christine Jorgensen publicly rejected transsexual in 1979, and instead identified herself in newsprint as trans-gender, saying, "gender doesn't have to do with bed partners, it has to do with identity."
