Added more information about the definition of transgender, history of the term, and gender dysphoria
'''''Transgender''' has two common definitions; '', often shorted to '''trans''', describes anyone whose [[gender identity]] or [[gender expression]] is different from their [[sex]] assigned at birth.<ref>https://www.apa.org/monitor/2018/09/ce-corner-glossary</ref> As it is an umbrella term, transgender includes both binary trans people (gender identity is the opposite of them are forms sex assigned at birth, for example, someone who was born male, but identifies as female) and people who do not identify as specifically male or female, including, but not limited to, [[nonbinary]], [[genderfluid]], [[agender]], [[bigender]], a [[third gender]], or a [[xenogender/neogender]]. The opposite of transgender is [[cisgender]], someone who identifies with the gender confusionthey were assigned at birth.<ref>https://www.historians.org/publications-and-directories/perspectives-on-history/may-2017/tracing-terminology-researching-early-uses-of-cisgender</ref>Being trans is not to be confused with being [[intersex]], where a person is born with reproductive or sexual anatomy that does not fit the typical definitions of the male and female anatomy. While someone could be both transgender and intersex, the two are separate terms, and people can also be just intersex or just transgender.<ref>https://isna.org/faq/what_is_intersex/</ref> Additionally, it should be noted that being transgender is separate from [[sexual orientation]]. Just like cisgender people, transgender people can be [[heterosexual]], [[homosexual]], [[bisexual]], [[pansexual]], [[asexual]], or an entirely different orientation.
# Similar to ==History of terminology==In his 1945 work ''Sexual Hygiene and Pathology: A Manual for the Physician and the Professions'', John F. Oliven (1914-1975), a psychiatrist of [[transsexualColumbia University]]created the term transgender to describe someone who did not identify with their assigned gender. Previously, the terms transsexual or transsexualism were used to describe trans people, however, Oliven stated that "The term [transsexualism] is misleading; actually, ‘transgenderism’ is what is meant, but without having had because sexuality is not a sex-change operationmajor factor in primary transvestism”.# As <ref>http://www.presenttensejournal.org/volume-3/transgender-the-rhetorical-landscape-of-a synonym for transsexual-term/</ref> The term transgender was popularized in the 1970s through the advocacy and writings of trans activist and pioneer Virginia Prince.<ref>https://www.them.us/story/inqueery-transgender</ref>
61-98% of young ==Gender Dysphoria==Many trans people outgrow , whether a binary trans person, nonbinary, or genderqueer, experience gender dysphoria, which is defined as psychological distress caused by a difference between one's gender identity and their [[biological sex and gender confusion]] if allowed to progress naturally.<ref>Ristori J, Steensma TDassigned at birth. Gender dysphoria often appears in childhood, although some may not experience it until during or after puberty. Int Rev Psychiatry. 2016;28(1)<ref>https:13-20//www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/gender-dysphoria/what-is-gender-dysphoria</ref> The term "transgender" is While scientists do not to be confused with a whole host of "gender identities" (which [[liberal]]s see as separate from biological [[sex]]) under fully understand the umbrella causes 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 culturedysphoria, some [[American Indian]] cultures, and also invented by modern-day people) Reputable scientific & social organizations which affirm connections have been made showing that the validity brain structure of transgender people include that is more similar to the American Psychological Association, the American Medical Association and the American Psychoanalytic Associationgender they identify as.
