The definitive list of tranny terms

Here is, to avoid all possible future confusion, a definition for every tranny-related word there is. No vagaries, no omissions, no controversy! ;-)

Tranny n. slang. A transvestite.

Trannie n. slang. A slightly pretentious transvestite.

Genderqueer
n. A very pretentious transvestite.

Cross-dresser
n. A man who enjoys wearing the clothes of the opposite sex.
Easily confused with a Transvestite.

Transvestite

Transsexual
n. A woman trapped in a man's body.

Transgendered
adj. Agnostic.

T-Girl
n. A transvestite who doesn't like the word transvestite and prefers a term that makes them sound like someone who'd push a tea-urn around.

Shemale
n. A mythical creature that occurs only in literature (i.e. porn).
See also unicorn, hydra, lipstick lesbian.

Intersex

"I explained to Mr Darcy that I was not intersex. Well, at least, not on a first date!" (J. Austen, Pride and Prejudice II)

Androgyne

Drag queen
n. A gay man who just needs to throw on a frock and some makeup to look twice as glam as all the trannies in the room. Bastard.

Ladyboy
n. A type of transgendered person invented in the mid-Eighties by the Bangkok Tourist Board.

Rachel  Take issue with the definition of "Trannie". Should be "extremely" pretentious, not "slightly"! I never do things by halves I'll have you know. ;) 
Mia  Ladyboy wouldn't be the first word those in the tourist boards of Thailand made up. And we all know lipstick lesbians art mythological.

Note: My gravitar should be working. I swear the outfit is cute, but I have no wig. I look awkward (read: tragically beautiful) at best. ;) 
Becky EnVérité  I don't use gravitars on this site, Mia!

P.S. Great news about your night out. :-)

I'd comment directly on your blog but a) you have to sign up with your provider to do so and b) I got a headache from the pinkness. ;-) 
Rachel  Becky with a headache from "pinkness" - that must be a first! 
Mia  The pinkness may need to be fixed. I tried to mitigate it out with the yellow but.....still a lot going on there.

I know that you have to join to comment, so thanks for taking up some of your space to do so instead.

Of course you don't use gravitars. What was I thinking?! 
Siobhan Curran  *ahem*

They're gravatars - althugh when was I ever one for insisting on correct spelling.

Becky, did that entire post originate as an excuse for the "I'm not intersex" joke? ;-) 
Becky EnVérité  Yeah, I'm deliberately putting mistakes in like that so that the pedants keep commenting. ;-)

And no, the intersex joke came to me while I was writing it! I don't write entire blog posts around one joke!

Much. :unsure:

Oh bugger, just remembered I don't have graphic smileys either. :-( 
Siobhan Curran  I'll lend you mine :-D 
jadis  omg, becky this is hilarious - perfect tone! hehe
