Transgender women are women who were assigned male at birth (or had certain intersex conditions), and who have a female gender identity. Like any women, they ask to be called by [[Pronouns#She|"she" pronouns]], and their sexual orientation can be lesbian, heterosexual, or otherwise. This is the male-to-female transgender spectrum. Older psychological and medical writings wrongly call trans women "male transsexuals" or "male transvestites", and call them by unwanted "he" pronouns. Trans women are women, not feminine men or [[sexual orientation|gay]] men.

Many transgender women [[transition]] to address [[gender dysphoria]], and some also consider themselves to be transsexual women. Any transgender person's transition path is very individual. Common features in a transgender woman's transition path include [[hormone therapy]] to create a balance with estrogen higher than testosterone, and a wide variety of kinds of [[surgery]] to choose from.
