People often conflate the terms "transsexual" and "transgender". As I understand it, I am transsexual, and what differentiates me from a transgender is that I actually live, and have lived, as a woman and have taken hormones and undergone surgery. A transgender person, meanwhile, is someone who crosses gender norms. A drag queen or king is an obvious example of that, but as one infographic tells us, most of us are at least a little transgendered. It's kind of funny to think that, as a transsexual woman, I can also be transgendered (at least, according to society's norms) because I fix my bikes (and, sometimes, other people's) and don't always dress or act in feminine ways.
Anyway, here's the infographic, which originally appeared on Flux:
