The Transgender Community and LGBTQ Culture: Identity, Intersection, & Impact

1. Defining the Terms

• Transgender (Trans): An umbrella term for people whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. This includes trans women, trans men, and non-binary (genderqueer, agender, bigender, etc.) individuals.
• LGBTQ+: An acronym for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, and others (intersex, asexual, etc.). The “T” is integral, not separate.

Challenges Faced by the Transgender Community and LGBTQ Culture

• Ask for pronouns: “What pronouns do you use?” (She/her, he/him, they/them, ze/zir, etc.). Then use them correctly. If you make a mistake: quickly correct, apologize briefly, move on.
• Use a person’s chosen name even if you knew a previous name (avoid “deadname”).
• Say “transgender” (not “transgendered” – it’s not a condition).
• Say “trans people” (not “transgenders” – noun form is dehumanizing).

• Sex Assigned at Birth: A medical classification (male, female, or intersex) based on physical anatomy, hormones, and chromosomes.
• Gender Identity: An individual’s internal, deeply held sense of their own gender (male, female, a blend of both, or neither).
• Gender Expression: The external presentation of gender through clothing, hairstyle, voice, and behavior.
• Transgender: An umbrella term for people whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. This includes trans men (female-to-male), trans women (male-to-female), and non-binary people (those who do not fit neatly into the male/female binary).
