Transsexualism is the condition of feeling as though one's gender identity does not match their biological sex. This can cause feelings of being trapped inside the wrong body, as Shahla describes. Transgenderism refers to a broader term for people whose gender identity does not match the sex they were assigned at birth, and can include individuals who identify as non-binary, genderqueer, or gender-fluid. Transvestitism, on the other hand, refers to the practice of dressing in clothes typically associated with the opposite sex, but does not necessarily denote a mismatch between gender identity and biological sex. Bisexuality and homosexuality refer to sexual orientation rather than gender identity.
