Jodie, not to quibble too much over semantics, but I would disagree with a small point above. Transgender is an overarching umbrella that would cover cross dressers, transsexuals, gender queer, etc. In the same way that "human being" is an umbrella term to describe the various expressions of our species, "transgendered" is an umbrella term to describe deviance in gender expression from the expected societal mores.
