By my personal definition the term "transsexual" defines a person who identifies as the other gender than he/she was born.
"Shemale" is a popular phrase that indicates a transsexual woman with both female and male organs - usually breast implants and penis.
"Ladyboy" is primarily a term (also popular) referring to Asian transgendered women.
Both "shemale" and "ladyboy" seem derogatory to many Western transsexuals who tie them in with the porn industry whereas the terms are used openly in Asia with no antagonism.
In general trans-terminology is a bit confused and subject to personal interpretations. Wikipedia has some pretty fine articles on the matter, though. I learned a lot there.
Peace!

That is correct, as a TS girl I am not so fond of the term "shemale" cuz it is to me closley to the porn industry.
Yes, its true that many men are attracted to us, but often is a secret desire and is mostly a sexual matter, we are some kind of sexual fetish to many men, but not so many are intressted in a serius relationship with a TS girl.
