transsexual 

An slightly outdated term for what is more commonly called "transgender"
Some people prefer this term, but it's important to ask first because many people find it offensive.

Someone who doesn't not identify as the the gender they were assigned at birth.

I heard that they're transsexual, is that true?

They prefer the term transgender, but yes.

What Zelda is discussed to be in Ocarina of Time (so much for an E rated game).

If I ever find out Sheik is a damn transsexual, Zelda is officially out of my fandom list!

Transsexual 

A mildly offensive term for transgender people who have had a gender reassignment.

If not offensive, then it is probably outdated. Just be careful how you use it.

Slightly Confused Cis Guy:"Not to be offensive, but are you transsexual? I've not seen a guy with such a high voice since 5th grade!"

Trans Guy: "Actually, I am! And yeah, my voice is the one thing that didn't change all that much, so..."

Slightly Confused Cis Guy: "Oh, cool. Have a nice day, bro."

Transsexual 

Transgender person who has had some form of medical intervention to alter their primary or secondary sex characteristics, usually with hormone replacement therapy, sexual reassignment surgery, facial feminization surgery, a combination of those or some other gender affirming procedure. It can also more narrowly refer to a trans person who has had sexual reassignment surgery.

The term is considered offensive by some, because of the history of its usage in psychology and also because transmedicalists have used it to exclude and delegitimize other transgender people. However, others continue to use it merely as a more specific label when it is relevant.

As a transsexual woman, I would prefer a specialist as my endocrinologist.
