Transgender persons

Transgender persons are individuals whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. For example, someone may be assigned female at birth but identify and live as a male. Gender identity is a personal sense of one’s gender, which may not align with societal expectations based on physical characteristics. Transgender people might choose to transition, which can involve social, medical, or legal changes to align their outward appearance with their gender identity. Respecting their gender identity and using correct names and pronouns is crucial for their dignity and well-being.
