A transsexual is someone that goes through transition to their identified gender. A transvestite is more fetishistic and sex based. Tranny and shemale are derogatory terms used mainly in porn etc., and would be like calling a cisgender woman a whore. For the most part, if you were to meet a transwoman that is not a sex worker in any way she would most likely take offense to being called tranny or shemale. Transgender is kind of an overarching term for those that feel they don't fit into the gender binary in some way. Transgender people don't necessarily undergo transition though. Anything else?
