This word is grammatically incorrect. It is used by conservatives that believe it is ok to discriminate against transgender people. The "Transgendered" are women that were born with male sex characteristics/men born with female sex characteristics (or non-binary people whose gender doesn't fit the binary). This isn't a made up story, as doctors can prove it with MRI scans.
Transgender is similar to intersex, but while for intersex people the problem is phisycal (reproductive organs partially/not functional) for the transgender person the problem is neurological.
Despite their physical attributes, trans women are women and trans men are men.
I used to call Jasper my brother before they came out as transgender.
My friend got diagnosed with gender dysphoria and she will soon take hormones to appear as feminine as she is inside.
A transphobic lady told my sibling that the transgendered are just trying to spread the trans agenda, but they ignored her.

Adjective, a word describing a person who does not identify with their birth sex characteristics. Because this word is an adjective (a word used to describe a noun), a transgender person shouldn’t be called “a transgender” or “transgendered”. Such examples of a transgender person include:
-A person who was born with a vagina and identifies as a male, is called an FTM (Female to Male) transgender person.
-A person who was born with a penis but identifies as a female, is an MTF (Male to Female) transgender person.
— When you meet a transgender person, do not ask them about SRS (sexual reassignment surgery) or HRT (hormone replacement therapy) unless they are comfortable with you asking them. Also there is no “one” surgery like “did you get THE surgery” There are numerous surgeries for transgender folk
— Do not ask a transgender person when they became trans, they didn’t become transgender because they always were transgender. Instead, ask them when they transitioned (physically), if they are comfortable with that question.
— If you want to know more about transgender people, don’t bother somebody who isn’t comfortable with you poking and prodding them, instead, watch some YouTube videos on the topic, they will answer more questions than you can think of.
trans woman- “Hello. I am a transgender woman and I would appreciate if you would treat me as a normal woman. I would not like the fact that I am transgender to get in the way of how you may perceive me, so just think of me as any other woman thank you.” (and vise versa)

someone who feels like they arent their birth sex. someone born with a vagina is afab, someone who is born with a penis is amab, and someone who has a mixture of both parts or a mixture of hormones is intersex.
transgender people do not have to have gender dysphoria, but they can have either dysphoria or gender incongruence. incongruence is simply not feeling right, while dysphoria is negative and has a negative impact on how you view yourself.
trans folks can be binary transgender, or nonbinary, have no gender, or a mixture of binary and nonbinary, as long as they dont identify with their agab.
person a: "hey, i heard that carter is transgender and wants to be called rose now."
person b: "oh, valid!"
and they move on, like rad people. be like them. be cool.

Someone who identifies as a gender other than what they were assigned at birth. Currently, if a baby is born with a vagina, they are assigned female at birth, or afab, and if they are born with a penis, they are assigned male at birth, or amab. Cisgender people identify with the sex they were assigned at birth, while transgender people don't.
Transgender is an umbrella term, containing men who are afab (trans men), women who are amab (trans women) and people assigned either sex that feel like both or neither genders (non-binary or genderqueer). Some trans people may take hormones or undergo surgery to make their body match their gender, and to treat dysphoria. Others are perfectly fine with their body, and only want minor or no changes. However, unless they feel comfortable discussing it with you, it is extremely rude and invasive to ask a trans person if they are on hormones or if they've had surgery yet.
Note that a trans person doesn't have to fit into any gender role. Much like cis men and women, a trans man can be feminine, while a trans woman can be masculine.
Jamie was assigned male at birth, but is female. She is a transgender woman, is taking estrogen, and has plans for bottom surgery in the future.
Max was assigned female at birth, but is male. He is a trans man, but has no plans for hormones or surgery.
Riley was assigned male at birth, but goes back and forth between feeling masculine, feminine, and somewhere in the middle. Xe is genderfluid, and has no dysphoria, except for on days when xe wants to female pass.
Yael, the author of this article, was assigned female at birth, but doesn't really feel like any gender. They are genderqueer, and want top surgery.

An adjective meaning someone whose gender does not completely align with the one assigned to them at birth. It is often shortened to "trans".
Trans people can be binary (trans men and trans women) or nonbinary (genderqueer, genderfluid, agender, bigender). An important note is that, when referring to binary trans people you *should* include a space between trans and their gender (ex. trans woman vs transwoman) because trans men are men and trans women are women, just like you'd say blonde woman and not blondewoman. It's an adjective in this context, not a prefix. Likewise, it's transgender people, not transgenders or transgendered people.
Trans people do not have one "look" or "experience", no matter what patterns you might see in the ones you meet and talk to. Talk to the trans people in your life if you want to understand, but *be respectful*. What the person says is how you should refer to them and it is not up to you to "prove" or "disprove" their identity.
Trans people are everywhere and deserve to exist in peace. They should not have to deal with discriminatory laws and invasive questions. There are many resources online about what respectful questions to ask trans people are.
An antonym for transgender is cisgender, meaning someone who identifies as the same gender as they were assigned at birth. This can also be shortened to cis.
JAMES: Hey, just wanted to let you know that I'm transgender. I'd like you to call me James and use he/him pronouns for me.
JULIE: Thanks for letting me know, James! While we're on the topic, I'm trans, too! I'm good if you keep calling me Julie but I'd rather if you used they/it pronouns for me.
JAMES: Holy shit, really?
JULIE: Yeah, I don't have dysphoria but I tried they/it pronouns online and they really worked for me!
JAMES: Wow, epic! I'm happy for us!
