What is trans*? Trans* or Transgender is where your gender identity does not match the gender you were assigned at birth When born we are assigned either male or female based on the outward appearance of our genitalia. Amab/Afab are acronyms for Assigned Male At Birth and Assigned Female At Birth respectively Gender and Sex are two separate categories Sex can correlate with gender, but that is not always the case
Trans is short for transgender, plain and simple Trans* is an umbrella term that encompasses all trans identities like: Transgender Transsexual Nonbinary Genderqueer Agender Two-spirit And many more Trans vs Trans*
Intersex is not being directly biologically male or female Example: being born with both primary sex organs But some Intersex persons can identify as trans* It s a personal decision Many intersex persons are assigned a gender through surgery, then later in life decide to transition to their true gender/sex Some are nonbinary or even Agender Regardless of sex (whether intersex, male or female) gender is entirely separate and does not have to correlate to your biological sex Intersex & Trans*
Do you have to medically transition to be trans*? No, medically transitioning is a very personal decision. Some can not medically transition due to health concerns, but that doesn t make them less trans A Trans* individual does not have to change any bit of their biology to still be trans Some choose to transition medically (HRT, GCS or SRS, FFS, Top surgery, etc.) Some don t and that s fine, it s a personal decision And none of your business ;)
When referring to a trans* person it is important to consider their safety Misgendering someone can be potentially dangerous ie) misgendering a transwomen in a women s bathroom Using the correct pronouns is simple just respectful. Why are pronouns so important?
Whats a dead name? A dead name is the name that was given to a trans* person at birth Aka: Birth name, given name, assigned name, other-name, etc. Is it okay to use a dead name? No, unless the trans* person explicitly allows you to, or is in a situation where their safety is a priority. Is it okay is ask a trans* person what their dead name is? No, that is not information you need to know. You may only learn a trans* persons dead name if they give it, but do not ask
