CD Transvestite Ladyboy Shemale TS - Your defintion?

[Bionca]

Well, most trans* women in the US are not overly fond of the word "Shemale" - there is aot of baggage associated with the word. However, much like the GLBTs in the 90's reclaimed "Queer", some trans* folks have decided to adopt Shemale as an identity. I have some issues with this.. but what do I know...

Fag-Hag is pretty much a term given to hetero women who hang out with gay guys (also called Fruit-Fly or Queen Bee). As far as I know the term isn't really used so much among Trans* in the US.

Of course if you're in the Philippines and you want that LadyBoy, you might want to ask about "bayot".

I think you summed it up pretty well
CD somene who enjoys dressing up
TV See above but maybee fulltime.
TS someone wishing to and in the process of transformation M2F or F2M. with the desire to go all the way through.
Shemale. Someone only interested in going far enough to give an outward apperance of being female while endevoring to keep a fully functional penis. For whatever reason. (my favorite)

Shemale is a term not liked by some due (i think) to the percieved link with prostitution or porn. This should not be the case IMO GGs are in porn and they are not stigmatised for what they are.
