WOW, That is a GREAT QUESTION, and yet it requires a very complex answer. So complicated I don't know where to begin.... Let me see if I can help, and break it down for you, for the trans gendered community is split into three different Categories:
Transsexuals, Drag Queens, and Transvestites/Cross dressers,
Transsexuals, this is the most common group currently talked about in our media Today. Trans-Men and Trans-Women are individuals that feel they were born in the wrong body. This word merely means they are in the process of Transitioning their sex, and there are two types "Pre Op" Transsexuals and "Post Op" Transsexuals (Post Operation means they have had their down stairs surgery) they are often called Trannie's, or TG's (Trans Gendered) There are both FtoM Female to male and MtoF Male to Female Transsexuals. This however does not affect their sexual preference only their gender Identity. Some Grow up identifying as Gay, and become str8 women and some grow up identifying as Str8 men only to become lesbians after transition.
Drag Queens are Entertainers, and most usually identify as Gay Males. (Yes, this is what I am) We live our lives as Men, but we entertain on stage for a living. There are Career Queens and there are Hobby queens (I think Every Gay man does drag at least once before he dies - Usually on Halloween) However we are all guys in the day and dress up for work it! or to spice up parties etc. To Quote Wesley Snipes as Noxeema Jackson in the 1995 Movie To Wong Foo: "When a gay man has way too much fashion sense for one gender he is a drag queen." PS - Some Career Drag Queens alter their Bodies for their profession and end up becoming Transsexuals even though they do not identify as TS or women trapped in men's bodies.
Transvestites and Cross Dressers are the same thing, however most use the term Transvestite for it is much friendlier and this group of people is accepted by the Trans gendered community. TV's /CD's are straight men who wear woman's clothing for sexual fetish. This is usually about the article of amusement. Some just wear Panties or Pantyhose, some love the shoes and some need a minnie skirt or lingerie. But dressing in the opposite sex's clothing is just something they usually do in private for a sexual turn on. Unless they are going into public or a CD Party etc, they usually do not even wear a wig or accessories. Most often these straight men Do not Shave or alter their appearance in any way. In fact many of these men will have a beard or goatee to prove they are masculine, as to disguise their secret life.
We will address the Fun of it on another day, I hope I could Help XOXO Misty Eyez
