The terms transgender and gender diverse as used in this text are inclusive of those who identify with the terms gender nonbinary, gender nonconforming, genderqueer, and transsexual. The umbrella term “transgender” incorporates a range of identities and experiences of individuals whose gender identities or expression, or both, differ from those associated with the sex assigned to them at birth. In contrast, the gender of cisgender individuals is concordant with the sex assigned to them at birth. The term transfeminine as used in this text refers to persons who identify along a female or feminine spectrum and transmasculine refers to people who identify along a male or masculine spectrum. Despite this simplification, a significant proportion of transgender people do not identify with a binary conception of gender. Transgender people may use any pronoun, including the gender-neutral singular pronoun “they.” It is also important to note that sexual orientation is distinct from gender and transgender people, like cisgender people, have a diversity of sexual attraction and activity.
