Transgender
Gender identity other than sex assigned at birth
Transgender ▸ Facts ▸ Comments ▸ News ▸ Videos
A transgender person is someone whose gender identity or gender expression does not correspond with their sex assigned at birth. Many transgender people experience gender dysphoria, which they seek to alleviate through transitioning, often adopting a different name and set of pronouns in the process. Additionally, they may undergo sex reassignment therapies such as hormone therapy and sex reassignment surgery to more closely align their primary and secondary sex characteristics with their gender identity. Not all transgender people desire these treatments, however, and others may be unable to access them for financial or medical reasons. Those who do desire to medically transition to another sex may identify as transsexual.
