Someone who identifies as a gender other than what they were assigned at birth. Currently, if a baby is born with a vagina, they are assigned female at birth, or afab, and if they are born with a penis, they are assigned male at birth, or amab. Cisgender people identify with the sex they were assigned at birth, while transgender people don't.
Transgender is an umbrella term, containing men who are afab (trans men), women who are amab (trans women) and people assigned either sex that feel like both or neither genders (non-binary or genderqueer). Some trans people may take hormones or undergo surgery to make their body match their gender, and to treat dysphoria. Others are perfectly fine with their body, and only want minor or no changes. However, unless they feel comfortable discussing it with you, it is extremely rude and invasive to ask a trans person if they are on hormones or if they've had surgery yet.
Note that a trans person doesn't have to fit into any gender role. Much like cis men and women, a trans man can be feminine, while a trans woman can be masculine.

Get the Transgender mug.The act of inserting a clear tube into two rectums and sending shit form one person to another. During the transference the two individuals should think of the poo as a ship and pretend that Ferdinand Magellan's (a 16th century explorer) spirit is in there. Therefore this act or move (or what every you want to categorize it as) reenacts Ferdinand Magellan discovering new worlds and moving from one world to the next. It also reenacts that cool tube thing at the bank.
Blake: I really enjoy your establishment; but I feel these T.U. Club girls just aren't living up to their full potential. Isn't there something these strippers could do that involves a clear tube of some sort?
Stripper: You mean like a Transfer?
Blake: Um...yeeeahhh i guess.
Stripper: Well I have this Idea but i need your butt to do it. I'll be sending some poo form my butt to yours.
Blake: like Magellan transferring to a new world... OMG! why haven't I thought of that before!

Get the Coastal Transient mug.AKA CUNTS, the secret women's -- er, womyn's -- organization for which all feminist organizations are either pawns or fronts.

"Shut up! That's CUNTS, the Circle of the Universally Nurturing Transcendental Sisterhood. And if she finds out you know she's a member, she'll kill you!"
"Huh?"
