Transgender - Understanding Gender Identity and Expression
What does it mean to be Transgender?
Transgender is an umbrella term that refers to individuals whose gender identity does not match their assigned sex at birth. While the term is often used to describe those with gender identity opposite to their assigned sex (trans men and trans women), it can also include individuals who identify as non-binary or genderqueer.
For many people who are transgender, their gender identity may be different from what society expects of them based on their assigned sex. This can lead to feelings of discomfort and dysphoria, which can be further exacerbated by societal discrimination and stigma.

What is Gender Dysphoria?
Gender dysphoria is the distress or discomfort that can occur when a person's gender identity does not match their assigned sex at birth. It is a recognized medical condition, and can include feelings of anxiety, depression, and a strong desire to change one's physical appearance to better align with their gender identity.
Transgender individuals may experience gender dysphoria as a result of societal expectations and stigma around gender, as well as the physical discomfort of living with a body that does not match their gender identity.
