To be transgender, wouldn't you have to actually become the other gender? 

Cross dresser- like dressing up as the other gender but consider yourself the same gender as your sex.
Transvestite- less commonly used, but this is basically a cross dresser who gets sexual gratification from cross dressing.

Transgender- someone who lives/identifies with a gender that is not the same as their sex. 
transexual- someone who has had sexual reassignment surgery. 

So for the first two, you are not identify with a gender different from what you were born with physically. You just like dressing up. For the last time, you identify as the other gender. Transgender, or more commonly "trans", is more of an umbrella term than transexual.
