You are considered Transsexual either a Male in the process of becoming a woman or the other way around, a woman taking hormones to become more masculine.
If this is confusing, you don't want to hear what I have to say about the word "Gay". Another one of my favorite words whose meaning has suffer some usurpation over the years. Mind you, I prefer it to the other pejoratives used to describe that community!
