The latest case of a widow in Huston having the legitimacy of her marriage challenged because she was transsexual is showing one of the major risks of substituting transgender when the proper word is transsexual.  Both word have separate and different meanings.  People with transsexualism get sex reassignment surgery.  People with ->-bleeped-<- do not.

The case of  Nikki Araguz is further complicated by the insistence that T whether for transsexual or transgender falls naturally in with Gay and Lesbian.
