Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A transsexual is a person who feels as though they were born with the wrong physical sex and who seeks medical procedures, such as hormone therapy or surgery, to change their physical sex to match their gender identity. Gender conflicted or gender confused do not accurately describe this person's experience, and while transgender may also be a suitable choice, transsexual is more specific to someone who has undergone medical procedures.
