Transgender

NOTE: This term is included in this category, too, even though it refers to gender because it’s been contained in the LGBTQIA+ Acronym.

A person whose gender identity and/or expression is not aligned with the sex they were assigned at birth. Transgender is often used as an umbrella term encompassing a large number of identities related to gender nonconformity. (To better understand the elements of the term, look at the following terms from the category “Gender-Related Terms”: Gender, Gender Identity, Gender Dysphoria, and Cis-Gender.)
