My desire is to fully transition to a woman oneday. Am I then a transexual or am I transgendered? Or am I not considered neither until I begin transitioning?

if you want to go with the whole label thing then transsexual. 

Transgender is the umbrella term for covering ->-bleeped-<-s, CDs, adrogyne(? maybe?), transsexuals. 

don't hold me to it though I'm not some super expert at this stuff hehe

I agree with Shane. TG is a term like Human, which then subdivides into a variety of sub-categories.

From what you say most people would assume you to be TS but, at the end of the day it's only a label.

So I would say that you are whatever you feel most comfortable being.

You both right its just a label. I would prefer to be known as a woman.

Well that's what you are then. I certainly won't quarrel with that.

There are also other things under the Transgender umbrella such as Genderqueer(sometimes referred to as gender->-bleeped-<-) although these tend to get lumped under the Adrogyne label, they aren't necessarily noted by a lack of specific gender but a blend of genders.
