The term "transsexual" is a specific term used to describe a person whose entire identity is that of a different gender than the one of which they were born. Transsexuals generally desire to achieve as complete a transition to their target gender as possible.
"Transgender" is commonly used as a more general term that includes transsexuals, but also those of the several other gender related conditions that involve feeling or appearing as a different sex. So called "crossdressers" are considered transgender, as are persons with intersex conditions, such as AIS.
