Answer 2

Difference between Transgender and Transsexual:

Transgender:

                   People who identify themselves as transgender may feel themself to be female, male, a combined, something completely different, or a non-binary transgender person.

For example, a person born as a female who has a male sense of themselves may be termed, transgender. Similarly, a person born as male and who has a female sense of themselves may be termed, transgender.

Transsexual:

                    Historically and medically, the term transsexual had been used to indicate a difference between gender identity and sex assigned at birth. In the fields of the medical and psychology, transsexuality had been used to indicate mental sickness and sexual deviation, for this reason, transgender people find it offensive to be addressed as transsexual.
