Changes

As the [[transgender]]ism movement arose, the terms transexual and transgender where initially used interchangeably to allow persons whose sexual identity was defined with a diagnosis of a psychological disorder into the movement.  However the debate over the difference between transsexuals and transgenders is far from over.  Simply stated, a person who has "fully transitioned" from one sex to another under a doctors care can be considered cured of their original diagnosis, whereas many transgenders chose to only partially transition and remain in that state.  Medical science has not yet determined if the patient retains their original underlying medical affliction which caused the patient to seek medical and psychiatric treatment.  Many so-called, and alleged, "transgenders" never seek medical help.
