WHAT DOES TRANSGENDER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Transgender

Transgender is the state of one's gender identity or gender expression not matching one's assigned sex. Transgender is independent of sexual orientation; transgender people may identify as heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, pansexual, polysexual, or asexual; some may consider conventional sexual orientation labels inadequate or inapplicable to them. The precise definition for transgender is changing but nevertheless includes: ▪ "Of, relating to, or designating a person whose identity does not conform unambiguously to conventional notions of male or female gender roles, but combines or moves between these." ▪ "People who were assigned a sex, usually at birth and based on their genitals, but who feel that this is a false or incomplete description of themselves." ▪ "Non-identification with, or non-presentation as, the sex one was assigned at birth." A transgender individual may have characteristics that are normally associated with a particular gender, identify elsewhere on the traditional gender continuum, or exist outside of it as other, agender, genderqueer, or third gender.

10 QUOTES WITH «TRANSGENDER»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word transgender.
1
Chaz Bono
There's a gender in your brain and a gender in your body. For 99 percent of people, those things are in alignment. For transgender people, they're mismatched. That's all it is. It's not complicated, it's not a neurosis. It's a mix-up. It's a birth defect, like a cleft palate.
2
Chaz Bono
Obviously the transgender movement has not progressed in the way that the gay and lesbian movement has. But I'm an activist - that's just the kind of person I am.
3
Chaz Bono
When I realised I was transgender I was so afraid of what my transition would do to everyone else in my life and how they would react to it and would I be rejected?
4
Chaz Bono
A lot of parents never speak to their transgender kids again; that's not the case in my family.
5
Chaz Bono
I thought, transgender people are much worse off than I am. That's why they're willing to risk everything to be who they are. But the older I got, the harder it got to stay in my body.
6
Jesse Tyler Ferguson
I kind of cheer the presence of any gay characters at all - I think the more we can saturate television with any gay character or lesbian character or transgender character, I think that's a really great thing. We're kind of getting past the fact that they're the punchline or that they're the novelty.
7
Barney Frank
I am very proud of the role I played in getting legal equality for people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, and in helping get rid of the prejudice by being visible about it, helping to block the conviction of Bill Clinton of impeachment.
8
Kesha
I am a huge fan of the transgender community.
9
Billie Jean King
Everyone has people in their lives that are gay, lesbian or transgender or bisexual. They may not want to admit it, but I guarantee they know somebody.
10
Judith Light
You know, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender - people are people.
