CD/TV/TG are people who identify internally as a MALE.
TS are people who identify internally as FEMALE.
{Gender queer & gender fluid persons acknowledged and not covered by the above definations}

This removes any badges of "psudo-honour" like:
On HRT, has had breast aug, has long hair! {WTF},
lives full time in other genders attire, had gender related surgery's
looks sexy in a dress.....

My suggestion is the same as that of the medical profession
with regards to gender dysphoria.

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.

[JodieTs]

It does cover the whole grouping of trans-varient people.
Bjt therein lies the problem.
Almost every transsexual woman I know (a lot)
totally rejects this term as applying to them as it implies (incorrectly)
a connection, overlap or similarity with CD's and Tv's.

I think the term was coined by persons with no accurate understanding of transsexual people.
The general lumping together of transsexual people with other trans-varient people
is inaccurate and does not acknowledge that there is little overlap. {Except possibly in an individual ts persons personal history}
The use of the term 'Transgender' to include trans-people (of all flavours)
is similar to the way that trans-people been lumped together
under the LGBT banner, for political convenience. While at the same time
not acknowledging that LBG may have no relevance to most T's sexual orientation.

I just found this stuff which goes back 40+ years

Actually, most ts women I know don't give it any real consideration
as they don't identify as Tg or as Ts for that matter either.
We identify as women.
(That's not everyone; I know two people happy to identify as Ts. So there you go)
