this seems to be sort of a regional thing and depends on who you're talking to. ime transsexual people are people who id as the gender opposite their aab gender; they're either men or women. this is why i said as a gq person i'm transgender, not transsexual
it's a bit of a regional thing and also a generational thing. i'm in my early twenties, and most of the similarly-aged trans people i know use transgender instead of transsexual. i also know a lot of people who dislike transsexual because it implies you're 'more real' if you can/do medically transition.
