Transgender is a term to describe someone
whose gender differs from the one given at birth. They may identify as male or
female or neither. The term “trans” is used to describe gender identities
within the vast range of human experiences - transgender, transsexual, crossdressers,
gender queer, androgynous and non gendered. The best tip on how to assist
people within their life stage is to respect their name and pronoun by which to
be addressed. If you make a mistake, apologise and correct yourself.
