I preferred to ask you rather than google, since I expect that, in view of your past history of meeting infamous people, you would know

Lol, not an expert, but have met one or two on my travels.
Transvestites are usually heterosexual, mostly male, but not always, who enjoy dressing in the clothing of the opposite gender. It's a form of fetish, and is usually kept clandestine.
Transexuals feel as though they have the mind of the opposite gender, and were born into the wrong body. Some, though not all, live as the gender they feel they really are, and a smaller minority have some kind of surgery, to make their lives more acceptable for society to accept them.
