WHAT DOES TRANSGENDER MEAN?
​
​
As this site relies heavily on the US Department of Justice and the US Department of Education’s joint “Dear Colleague” letter of May 13, 2016, and its fallout, the use of the word "transgender" on these page follows that letter’s Terminology guide, which defines it as:
"those individuals whose gender identity is different from the sex they were assigned at birth. A transgender male is someone who identifies as male but was assigned the sex of female at birth; a transgender female is someone who identifies as female but was assigned the sex of male at birth."

“There’s a gender in your brain and a gender in your body. For 99 percent of people, those things are in alignment. For transgender people, they’re mismatched. That’s all it is.”
— Chaz Bono
