An outdated medical term for transgender that is considered problematic by the trans community, as it falsely implies that one needs to medically transition in order to be a "real" person of the gender they identify as.
Person 1: "Isn't that lady-friend of yours a transsexual?"
Person 2: "Transsexual is actually an outdated term that's considered offensive, so I'd appreciate it if you used transgender or trans instead. It isn't really our business unless she deems it necessary to let us know herself, anyways..."
Person 1: "Oh—my bad. I wasn't aware of that. Thank you for letting me know. Anyways, I just wanted to say that I think she looks pretty."
Person 2: "Of course and I'll let her know. I'm sure it'll give her a great sense of gender euphoria."
Person who identifies with the opposite sex and who has undergone sexual reassignment surgery.
1- Feminine man who had silicone implants and genital castration.

1- Genitally castrated man who dresses up as a woman daily and identifies as a woman. Genitally castrated transvestite.
2- Genitally amputated woman who dresses up as a man daily and identifies as a man. Genitally amputated bofinho.

2- Castrated/eunuch woman dressed as a man.
1- Person with opposite phenotype and genotype.
2- Boyceta or transvestite.
Transgender person who has had some form of medical intervention to alter their primary or secondary sex characteristics, usually with hormone replacement therapy, sexual reassignment surgery, facial feminization surgery, a combination of those or some other gender affirming procedure. It can also more narrowly refer to a trans person who has had sexual reassignment surgery.
The term is considered offensive by some, because of the history of its usage in psychology and also because transmedicalists have used it to exclude and delegitimize other transgender people. However, others continue to use it merely as a more specific label when it is relevant.
As a transsexual woman, I would prefer a specialist as my endocrinologist.
