# As a synonym for transsexual.
It 61-98% of young people outgrow their [[gender confusion]] if allowed to progress naturally.<ref>Ristori J, Steensma TD. Gender dysphoria in childhood. Int Rev Psychiatry. 2016;28(1):13-20.</ref> The term "transgender" is not to be confused with a whole host of "gender identities" (which [[liberalthe left]]s see as separate from biological [[sex]]) under the umbrella of '''genderqueer''', which includes, besides transgender:
* Bigender (both man and woman)
* Agender (neither man nor woman)
* Genderfluid (alternating between genders)
* Third gender (found in [[India]]n culture, some [[Native American Indian]] cultures, and also invented by modern-day people) Reputable scientific & social organizations which affirm the validity of transgender people include the American Psychological Association, the American Medical Association and the American Psychoanalytic Association. This shows leftist bias in these organizations. Transgenders often adopt the opposite sex's [[gender]] role through cosmetics, grooming, mannerisms, [[cross-dressing|clothing]] and a name change. ==Links to homosexuality==The link between seeking a sex change and [[sexual orientation]] is hotly disputed in the political arena of Western countries, where sex changes have had the most attention and debate. Some transgendered individuals consider themselves homosexual and some are heterosexual.
