As I've always understood it transsexual (or post-transsexual) people are not transgendered
Unfortunately, there's no clear consensus on this point. Some transsexuals happily identify as transgendered. Some transsexuals agree that they fit under the broad transgendered umbrella, but feel that it obfuscates some of the important issues of transsexualism. And some transsexuals disagree strongly that transgendered is a word that applies to them.
