Trans terminologyWhat the term means
A gender identity that is not exclusively male or female; experiences vary between individuals.
In detail
This entry describes gender identity, expression or sexual orientation, depending on the specific term. These are distinct dimensions of a person’s life: identity cannot be inferred reliably from clothes, appearance or preferred BDSM role. Respectful language follows the person’s own self-description.
