Transgender, or Trans: means someone whose gender differs from the one they were given when they were born.  Transgender people may identify as male or female, or they may feel that neither label fits them.

3. What does Gender mean to you?
Young people have lots of different experiences of gender: •    For some, being male or female is something they don’t think about, it’s automatic. •    Other young people feel pressure to measure up to what’s expected of them as male or female. •    Some young people feel that male or female are labels that don’t work for them. •    Other young people can feel like they want to change the gender they’ve been living in during their childhood.

5. Many Americans have a profound lack of understanding of what it means to be transgender.  Consequently, transgender people commonly face a wide variety of discriminatory barriers to full equality.  Transgender people sometimes face difficulties meeting their basic needs (getting a job, housing, or health care) or in having their gender identity respected (like in the simple act of going to a public restroom).
