Sexual minority includes both sexual orientation and gender identity issues.
Transgendered was a term put into general usage by Virginia Price, who founded a transvestite support group and was instrumental in getting cross dressing decriminalized. Transgendered originally meant a pre-operative transsexual who has no desire to have sex reassignment surgery. However, currently the term is a catchword that applies to transsexuals, transvestites or cross dressers, female and male impersonators or drag queens and kings, intersexuals, and people who's perceived gender may conflict with their gender expression. Although the TG culture is part of the gay, lesbian, bisexual culture, many confuse transgender and sexual orientation. Gender identity, your psychological sex, is different from sexual orientation which is an emotional, romantic, sexual attraction to individuals of a particular gender.
