-Transgender is an umbrella term covering all gender identities or expressions that transgress or transcend society’s rules and concepts of gender. To be trans usually means to identify as a gender other than the gender you were assigned at birth. The category of transgender includes people who have the [[Binary Gender|binary gender]] identities of female or male, as well as people with [[nonbinary]] gender identities.  Some nonbinary people do not identify as transgender or [[cisgender]].
