Advancing the Welfare of Transgender People  

What does transgender or trans mean?

Transgender people identify with a different gender than their sex assigned at birth. Trans and transgender are inclusive terms that embrace transgender men and women, as well as gender nonbinary, gender non-conforming, agender, and genderfluid people.
