Used as an umbrella term for people whose gender identity and/or gender expression differs from their sex assigned at birth. Individuals may identify as male, female, nonbinary or a number of other gender identities.
Not to be confused with transsexual, although many transsexuals may also identify as transgender: but certainly, not all transgender individuals are, or identify with, transsexual.
