Preferred term

online new media: transgender identity  

Definition

  • Transgender is usually defined as the status of a person's gender identity when that person's self-identification (as male, female, both, or neither) differs from the person's physiological sexual attributes. In other words, transgender people are those who feel that the gender assigned to them at birth does not match their inner gender identity.
