Transsexuals are individuals who experience a gender identity that is different from the sex they were assigned at birth and seek medical interventions to change their physical appearance to match their gender identity. This term is more appropriate than terms like transvestites (who dress in clothing typically associated with the opposite sex but do not necessarily seek medical interventions) and transphobes (who hold prejudice and discriminatory attitudes towards transgender individuals). The term transgender can also be used, but it is a broader term that includes individuals who do not necessarily seek medical interventions.
