Yeah, I don't see a way to come up with a standard for this either. I consider myself transsexual, and some people hate that term. I just don't feel the term transgender fits me anymore. I don't really like "tranny" but some people do - so I think everyone has a term they feel more akin to and that's cool. I just try to determine what works for each individual and respect that.
