Orang transseksual memiliki identitas gender yang tidak sesuai atau yang secara tradisional tidak berasosiasi dengan seksnya yang ditunjuk serta memiliki keinginan untuk bertransisi permanen agar sesuai dengan gender yang mereka miliki. Orang transseksual biasanya mencari bantuan medis (lewat terapi penentuan ulang seks) untuk membantu tubuh mereka agar selaras dengan seks atau gender mereka. Istilah transseksual umumnya dinilai sebagai sebuah istilah turunan dari transgender,[1][2][3] namun beberapa orang transseksual menolak penggunaan istilah transgender.[4][5][6][7] Diagnosis medis dapat dilakukan jika seseorang memiliki keinginan untuk hidup dan diterima selaku orang dengan seks yang mereka identifikasi atau jika ia terganggu dan mengalami kesulitan di dalam aktivitas sehari hari.[8]
The term transsexual was introduced by Cauldwell (1949) and popularized by Harry Benjamin (1966) [...]. The term transgender was coined by John Oliven (1965) and popularized by various transgender people who pioneered the concept and practice of transgenderism. It is sometimes said that Virginia Prince (1976) popularized the term, but history shows that many transgender people advocated the use of this term much more than Prince. The adjective transgendered should not be used [...]. Transsexuals constitute a subset of transgender people.
Transgender, Umbrella term for persons who do not conform to gender norms in their identity and/or behavior (Meyerowitz, 2002). Transsexual, Subset of transgenderism; persons who feel discordance between natal sex and identity (Meyerowitz, 2002).
Some Transsexual individuals also identify with the broader transgender community; others do not.
Transsexualism is often included within the broader term 'transgender', which is generally considered an umbrella term for people who do not conform to typically accepted gender roles for the sex they were assigned at birth. The term 'transgender' is a word employed by activists to encompass as many groups of gender diverse people as possible. However, many of these groups individually don't identify with the term. Many health clinics and services set up to serve gender variant communities employ the term, however most of the people using these services again don't identify with this term. The rejection of this political category by those that it is designed to cover clearly illustrates the difference between self-identification and categories that are imposed by observers to understand other people.
