axesladeFrom TransAction's list of gender terminolgy...(empahsis is mine)
Transgender (or trans): a term used to describe people who transgress social gender norms; often used as an umbrella term to include transsexual, genderqueer, gender nonconforming or cross-dressers. People must selfidentify as transgender in order for the term to be appropriately used to describe them.
Transition: The period during which a transgender person begins to live more fully as their true gender, which may include any combination of the following: alterations to dress, name changes, changing preferred pronouns, hormone therapy or sex reassignment surgery. After transitioning and surgery, some transgender people identify only as a man or as a woman. Not all trans people want nor have access to hormone therapy or sex reassignment surgery.
GLSEN rocks ^_^ I'm going to try to get this posted in the dorm for TransAction day.
I also put a bi pride flag, trans pride flag, and trans pride emblem onto my door. We'll see what happens.
