>A transvestite is someone who enjoys dressing as the opposite sex but does identify as one - more like performance. Otherwise known as a "cross-dresser"
You mean a
male who does so; rarely is a female that does so called anything in particular, which illustrates well how in general everything related to "gender" is just arbitrary bullshit.
>Trans-gendered is someone who identifies as the opposite sex.
To make gender-transitions something about 'identification' has been a relatively new movement, mostly in politics. The psychiatric guidelines for diagnosing
gender dysphoria and commencing hormonal treatment do not consider "self-identification" and essential criterion, because the reality is that many do not — though it's still considered beneficial for their mental health to undergo a gender transition.

"fetish" is nothing more than a word used by the man obsessed with normativity for 'being aroused by anything unconventional', thence he speaks frequently of a 'foot fetish' but rarely of a 'breast fetish'.
