Turns out I am definitely transsexual, according to my doctor.
If one has the desire to change one's body physically to appear like the opposite sex, do HRT, has gender dysphoria, and considers transitioning through surgery (or have had surgical procedures to that end), then you are transsexual. I am all of the above.
If you dress up (cross-dress), and temporarily take up a pseudo female role, but go back to living as your assigned sex wrt appearance, dress etc, then you are transgendered.
In the context of the medical profession, there is thus a clear distinction between the two terms, which becomes important when evaluating and treating patients.
Speaking for myself, I have long moved up from being part-time transgendered to being transsexual. The further I go with my herbal HRT program the more my desire grows for full transitioning. I have, since childhood, disliked my genitals and have always dreamed about having a vagina, breasts, a bigger butt and curves, beautiful long hair and wearing makeup, wearing dresses (I have many) etc etc.
Just thought I'd give you this info as defined by a doctor.
