Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transsexuals identify as a gender that is different than their chromosomal sex and may seek medical treatment such as hormone therapy or gender reassignment surgery to physically transition to their identified gender. Transvestites, also known as crossdressers, wear clothing typically associated with the opposite sex but do not necessarily identify as a different gender. Bisexuals are attracted to individuals of both genders. Hermaphrodites have both male and female reproductive organs. However, the term hermaphrodite is considered outdated and stigmatizing, and the preferred term is intersex.
