How exactly do you differentiate between transexed and transgendered and why no hormone option for the latter?

LOL. Man, I wish I could delete this thread now! (or just been more clear, I guess).
Sorry, folks!
I know that the term transgendered is used as an umbrella term, a term in place of transsexual, and a term to describe someone in the "middle". I am using it to describe someone who does not regard themselves as male or female.
Yes, the part of the word that has
gender in it does not really fit then, but I don't know what else to use (I have written a thread on this topic on more than one site). I did not use the term third gendered butch b/c gender is man, woman, butch, femme, etc., to me and I was talking about someone between the sexes (male, female).
Good point about the transgendered butch who uses hormones. I myself have considered them, but do not identify as transsexed.
I am using the term transsexed b/c I was under the impression that the trans community was beginning to prefer that term over transSEXUAL.
It was really hard to come up with ways to describe everyone. Unfortunately, I am not able to add/change.
