The term "transgendered" is used to describe individuals who identify with a gender that is different from the sex they were assigned at birth. This applies to Frank, who was assigned female at birth but identifies as male. The term "transsexual" specifically refers to individuals who have undergone medical interventions to transition to their identified gender, which is not specified in the given information. The terms "mixed gendered" and "cross-gendered" are not commonly used or recognized in sociological literature.
