A transgender individual identifies with a specific gender or sex, different from the one they were assigned at birth. Transgender people are physically one gender; however, they know that they belong to the opposite sex, effectively a man trapped in a woman’s body or vice versa. Transgender individuals will often undergo transitioning surgery to change their appearance and anatomy to ultimately change their outward appearance to reflect their true inner self. Trans or Transgender is an umbrella term for the process of transition, with the word transexual typically used with a person who has undergone reassignment surgery or hormone replacement therapy. It is important to note that transgender people will define their gender as male or female rather than trans. The terms FTM or AFAB are abbreviations for a female at birth or assigned female at birth. Alternatively, MTF or AMAB are abbreviations for a male at birth or assigned male at birth
TAKE PRIDE IN BEING YOU
You should never be told or feel that being different is wrong. It does not matter if you are straight, gay, or other non-traditional sexual or gender identities. You are you, especially when it is who you are and something you are powerless to change. The Pride in Series is designed to help everyone take pride in; however, they choose to identify, even if that is traditional and cis-gendered identities. Learn more about the various sexualities, gender identities and special groups and let us all be proud of who we are
"Remember this; whoever you are; however, you are, you are equally valid, equally justified, and equally beautiful."
