'''Transgender ''' has two common definitions; both of them are forms of [[gender confusion]]:
1# Similar to [[transsexual]], but without having had a sex-change operation. # As a synonym for [[Transsexual]]transsexual.
2. Someone who does not conform to gender norms, anyone whose appearance since birth has neither been consistently male nor female. Thus it includes 61-98% of young people outgrow their [[Transsexualgender confusion]]sif allowed to progress naturally.<ref>Ristori J, Drag Queens and Drag Kings, the [[Intersexed]], Transvestite Fetishists, and AndrogynesSteensma TD.

The term "transgender" is not to be confused with a whole host of "gender identities" (which [[the left]] 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]] 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. ==See also ==* [[Transgender activism]] ==References=={{Reflist}} ==External links==*Richardson, Bradford (February 28, 2018).
