call me ignorant but i just always assumed that they were all the same...just different names.
ladyboy=tranny=t-girl=transexual=shemale
Technically, sir, a ladyboy is originally the Asian nomenclature for a shemale, but a ladyboy in many places can also refer to a trap. A trap is a guy who looks like a woman minus the tits. For example, a trap can be a really cute 'girl' (hence, trap).
A post-operative transsexual is one who identifies as the other gender and has biologically enough crossed the gender line. Transsexuals, or rather gender-crossers, usually take large doses of hormones/testosterone and ultimately have gotten their genitalia removed and have replaced it with the proper part.
A pre-operative transsexual is one who identifies as the other gender but has yet to remove the 'requisite' parts. Pre-op transsexuals can be shemales, but not all shemales are pre-op transexuals since some shemales can be satisfied with all their current parts.
I usually equivocate tranny, t-girl, and shemale. They're not quite gender-crossers because gender is a spectrum, on which they tend to sit in the middle. A good catch-all term is 'ladyboy' and 'androgynous'; however, 'androgynous' can refer to both gender and the biological sex or only gender.
Regarding good manners, some don't like the term 'shemale' or 'tranny', but some do like it. Some probably don't like 'trap', but I like it because it's a good joke-word. 'Ladyboy' is a good catch-all.

Damn...you know a lot about the subject
Don't crown him King of Gender Bending yet. He forgot the all-important executive transvestite:

Sure I do!
On an unrelated note, I feel sorry for the poor sods who majored in Gender Studies. That was totally unnecessary of them.
... and while she was not the sole reason why I stopped playing for that time, I certainly came back safe in the knowledge that I didn't have to answer to anyone about how often I play it (we're no longer together)
