Source Summary

From issue #6 of FI News: Recently, a new term has arisen to classify a type of crossdresser who until recently has been lumped into the general category of transvestite or even transexual. The term is transgenderist, and it came into popular usage only quite recently. What, then, is a transgenderist? For a fuller understanding of the subject, it is easiest to begin by pointing out the differences between the transgenderist, the transvestite and the transexual. Hopefully, by explaining what the transgenderist isn’t, a clearer understanding of the transgenderist will result. The main difference between the TG (transgenderist) and the classical TV is that whereas the transvestite is attracted mainly to women’s clothing, the transgenderist goes beyond this. Usually, a TV will be content in simply donning women’s clothing -‘ he may make no pains to perfect the impersonation — in fact, he may not even go into the use
