Definition: A transsexual person is someone who identifies as a member of the sex opposite to his or her assigned sex. There are essentially two types of transsexual persons: male-to-female (MTF), and female-to-male (FTM).
Transsexual persons are considered transgender, but not all transgender persons are considered transsexual, as transgender persons might also identify as androgynous, bigender, intersex, or something other than the gender opposite to his or her assigned gender.
