Transsexual

Transsexual is a term used for people who desires to permanently transition to the sex or gender with which they identify, usually seeking medical assistance (including hormone replacement therapy and surgery) to help them align their body with their identified sex. The more recent term transgender has widened the debate about what constitutes transexual. Blanchard's transsexualism typology has identified distinctions between transexual and transgender identities. Blanchard categorized trans women into two groups: homosexual transsexuals who are attracted exclusively to men and are feminine in both behavior and appearance; and autogynephilic transsexuals who experience sexual arousal at the idea of having a female body (autogynephilia). .
