She should be fine being called "cute" - but some Western transsexuals have a political approach to the terms. Screw them... IF you mean well... maybe she was actually cute and fine :-)
I suggest you check wikipedia for a definition of the terms. I've posted stuff here about the vernacular, so I wont do it again.
But Western transsexual women in general take things a bit more seriously (term-wise) than the girls do from where I come. It's a political thing, I think...
BUT always be nice and respectful... calling a woman CUTE should not offend her, though... so keep being who you are,,, no need to be particularly sensitive in your choice of terms as long as you mean people well.
