      Although there is much variation in how the word is defined, most people use "transgender" to refer to individuals whose gender identity doesn't fit into the usual rigid male/female categories. Note that the word "transvestite" has a different, much more specific meaning (referring specifically to the practice of cross-dressing—i.e. men or women, whether straight or gay, who wear clothing associated with the opposite gender.

            I was under the impression that it was the feeling of being "trapped" in the "wrong" body regardless of your sexual orientation.  You can still be considered transgendered without having surgery 😕
