Preferred term

transgender movement  

Definition

  • The transgender movement is a loose affiliation of people who identify as transgender and others who support issues of concern to transgendered people. This nonformal affiliation began in earnest in the late 20th century as an offshoot of the burgeoning lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) movement.
