no. transexuals are people of one gender in the body of the other sex, while transvestites are people who wear the clothes of the other sex but have the same gender and sex

Yep. A transsexual assumes the identity of the opposite sex, while a transvestite merely likes to wear the clothes of the opposite sex.

A transvestite can suprise you with a little present, a transexual can fool you and scar you for life.

Transsexuals are changing from one gender to the other: m>f or F>m.

Transvestites enjoy wearing women's clothes. This can either be sexual or nonsexual in nature. Some transvestites are straight and others are gay.

There's your answer.

Yep. A transsexual assumes the identity of the opposite sex, while a transvestite merely likes to wear the clothes of the opposite sex.

Yep. A transsexual will also typically be taking female hormones in order to begin assuming a more feminine shape.
