Transgendered: 1.)is an overarching term applied to a variety of individuals, behaviors, and groups involving tendencies that diverge from the normative gender role (woman or man) commonly, but not always, assigned at birth, as well as the role traditionally held by society. 2.) appearing or attempting to be a member of the opposite sex, as a transsexual or habitual cross-dresser.
Transexuaism:s a condition in which a transsexual person self-identifies as a member of the gender opposite to the one assigned to them at birth. Transsexualism is considered a taboo subject in many parts of the world. The justifications for negative beliefs about transsexualism may be perceived as being supported by religious beliefs or cultural norms. 2.) a person who has undergone a sex change operation or a person whose sexual identification is entirely with the opposite sex
Hermaphrodite: an individual in which reproductive organs of both sexes are present.

It would seem to me that if you were born transgendered, you would want to have a different classification system than a person that just wants to assign themselves to a different gender. Is this a point of contention?
Like I have brought up with the others in your group, have you considered those who no longer live in this lifestyle? Who now live a heterosexual lifestyle or have changed back to their original gender? And why have they done so? I wrote more on your other groups blog, but I can clarify in class if my question seems to vague.
Im really more interested in the first idea Travis mentioned on Chris' page. A transgender or transvestite who has decided to live a more "conventional" lifestyle now. I think the homosexuality issue is more of a sexual orientation question whereas the transvestite is more gender related and thus more suitable to your film.
