I'm pretty danm sure a transexual, a TG, and a shemale are the same things, but a TV or CD are cross dressers i.e. do not live as "females"....pretty sure about that last part anyways.
Not only are shemales and transexuals the same thing, but ladyboys too! It just happens that the term 'ladyboys' is in heavy usage in Thailand where the girls happen to be asian. Technically, it still means the same thing though... unless you start putting adjectives infront of it like "asian" or "yellow" or whatever.
Was the original question seriously honest or was it meant as a joke? Someone might need to do some more online research regarding the objects of their affection.
As mentioned above, if you're looking to discern some differences, you ought to start comparing pre-op ts, post-op ts, and cd/tv.
Shemale is derogatory in some contexts; it came out of the porn industry, and it's a way of setting us apart from genetic women. I personally don't like the term, and I'll rarely use it in reference to myself - but if someone calls me one (without meaning it in a negative way) I won't be offended.
Ladyboy is a term that exclusively refers to Asians. Interestingly, the term Kathoey translates roughly to "woman of the second kind" and is another way of differentiating us from genetic women.
Transexual (or Transsexual) means someone who changes their physical sex from one sex to the other; therefore, I'll generally refer to myself as a transsexual woman.
