Being transgender relates to gender identity, not sexual orientation. Transgender people may identify as straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, or queer. Historical and Cultural Roots

Some individuals undergo medical transitions (hormones or surgery), while others focus on social transitions, such as changing names, pronouns, or appearance.

Various cultures have long recognized more than two genders, such as the Two-Spirit traditions in many Native American nations, the burrnesha of Albania, and historical gender roles in Jewish law.

"Transgender" describes individuals whose —their internal sense of being a man, woman, non-binary, or another gender—differs from the sex assigned to them at birth.

LGBTQ+ culture is built on "chosen families" and safe spaces where individuals can live authentically.

Experiences within the community are shaped by other identities, such as race, class, and disability. Transgender women of color, for instance, often face the highest rates of discrimination and violence.

This includes trans men, trans women, and non-binary individuals who may identify as genderqueer, agender, or bigender.

Despite significant progress, the community continues to face disparities in healthcare, employment, and mental health, often exacerbated by anti-LGBTQ+ legislation .
