A person who was born with a male reproductive system, yet psychologically and vitally they identify with the feminine gender.

Transsexual women may aspire to affirm their gender identity through surgeries or hormone replacement therapy to adapt their anatomy and adopt a masculine gender. 

In terms of sexual orientation, a transsexual woman can feel attracted to other woman and identify as lesbian; they can feel attracted to men and identify as heterosexual; they can feel attracted by both sexes and identify as bi; or they may feel no sexual attraction at all. Transsexual women suffer social stigma and hidden transphobia which make them more vulnerable to violence and abuse.
