The transgender community is a vibrant and integral part of the broader LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, and others) culture. While often grouped together, it’s important to understand both the unique experiences of transgender people and how they connect with the larger movement for sexual and gender diversity. Who Are Transgender People? Transgender (often shortened to trans ) is an umbrella term for people whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. For example, a person assigned male at birth who identifies as a woman is a transgender woman. A person assigned female at birth who identifies as a man is a transgender man.
