Transexual is the prefered term. Shemale seems to be a porno term and is considered degrading to those who consider the transition to be a serious action. Shemale is a term reserved for those that did a partial change but keep their cock in tack for sexual purposes; therefore "porno" intent. Or should I say they are in a "professional" business?
If you care to do the research, you will find that making the transition is more complicated than say," changing a spark plug".

i feel a little uncomfort with the term shemale cos like you said sounds like a porn thing... transsexual is better then shemale for me..
but yeah, you should be a little carefull with words, some gurls can be sensitive. i'm myself have a list of bad questions that people mostly ask me.
