There are different schools of thought in all this stuff. The older notion of transexuality is that they want to switch to the opposite gender because they are very uncomfortable in the current situation. Then there's the school of thought that want anyone to be able to make up their own gender and their own pronouns, which means there is essentially no limit to the number of genders.
There is no definition other than you are suppose to use these pronouns when referring to them.
I would generally try and just use "they" as this is ridiculous.
