transgender individuals

Transgender individuals are people whose gender identity — their internal sense of who they are — differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. For example, someone assigned male at birth may identify and live as a woman, or vice versa. Being transgender is about aligning one’s outward appearance, behavior, or identity with their true gender. It’s a natural variation of human experience, and many transgender people may choose various ways to express or affirm their gender, including social transition, medical procedures, or legal changes. Respecting their identity promotes understanding and inclusion.
