Transgender is an umbrella term that covers many things - e.g. drag queens, gender-fluid, gender-queer AND transsexual among others.
Transsexuals are strictly people who feel as if they were born into the wrong body and preferably need surgery/therapy to treat that.
All transsexuals are transgender, but not all transgender are transsexuals. If that makes sense.
