Transgender Terminology, What are your thoughts?

When discussing things "around the water cooler" here at BigCloset/Janglewood (read as inside a skype chat window), we often have troubles picking one "definition" for what various terms mean. We often share the same "flow" with slight differences, but we know there are many different feelings in the community.

Some people often feel that Transgender and Transsexual are the same thing, but others include Transgender to be an umbrella term for everyone including Gender Queer, Non-Binary, Transsexual, Transvestite, etc.

While I'm not going to put all my personal definitions out here for the world, I am curious about yours. To start things off, I think I'm going to include the Definitions from the National Center for Transgender Equality as seen in the article Wendy Jean linked to earlier.

Transgender terminology

The terminology around transgender issues can be confusing. Here are some definitions from the National Center for Transgender Equality

To be transgender means you identify with a gender that was not assigned to you at birth.

A transgender man, or trans man, is a transgender person who currently identifies as a man.

A transgender woman, or trans woman, is a transgender person who currently identifies as a woman.

Transitioning is a term used to describe when a trans person begins living as the gender he or she identifies with.

Some, but not all, trans people choose to use surgery to transition, according to the Human Rights Campaign.
