Here is the OED entry for transgender:
Of, relating to, or designating a person whose identity does not conform unambiguously to conventional notions of male or female gender, but combines or moves between these; transgendered.
If you notice, the term is based on a person's identity. Nothing more. It doesn't say someone who has been castrated or someone who has received hormones of the opposite sex, but, rather, someone whose identity does not conform to conventional standards.
