Transvestite has a sexual fetish connotation focused on gendered clothing that doesn't apply to Faris. She was a woman living among pirates that hid her gender for her own safety, not because she got a sexual kick out of masquerading as a man.
Although during the ending she's very uncomfortable wearing a dress I think that's more because she doesn't like the idea of being forced into a gender stereotype she doesn't agree with.
