Get the Transcendentalism mug.An adjective meaning someone whose gender does not completely align with the one assigned to them at birth. It is often shortened to "trans".
Trans people can be binary (trans men and trans women) or nonbinary (genderqueer, genderfluid, agender, bigender). An important note is that, when referring to binary trans people you *should* include a space between trans and their gender (ex. trans woman vs transwoman) because trans men are men and trans women are women, just like you'd say blonde woman and not blondewoman. It's an adjective in this context, not a prefix. Likewise, it's transgender people, not transgenders or transgendered people.
Trans people do not have one "look" or "experience", no matter what patterns you might see in the ones you meet and talk to. Talk to the trans people in your life if you want to understand, but *be respectful*. What the person says is how you should refer to them and it is not up to you to "prove" or "disprove" their identity.
Trans people are everywhere and deserve to exist in peace. They should not have to deal with discriminatory laws and invasive questions. There are many resources online about what respectful questions to ask trans people are.
An antonym for transgender is cisgender, meaning someone who identifies as the same gender as they were assigned at birth. This can also be shortened to cis.

Transcendentialism, also known as Transcendentalism, Transcendentism, Transcendentianism, Transcendenticism and Transcendism is a theological and philosophical stance that support that humanity and all living beings should transcend and reach godhood or transcend into the divine level of existence or, at least, into any high level of being, and turn humanity into highly evolved beings by religion, spirituality and even technology. Transcendentialism also supports the same ideas as Divinialism and Spiritualicism in order to transcend humanity into a highly level of being, but different from divinialism, transcendentialism supports that evolution to the divine can come from any religion or form of spirituality since they believe on the idea it's possible to reach the divine, and transcendentialism is considered to be more generic than divinialism and more focused on the idea of transcendence to the divine and godhood. Transcendentialism supports that people should do religious and spiritual practices in order to reach the divine and achieve godhood on physical level, but it supports that only by technology it's possible to become extraphysical as gods are or by so much will, energy, concentration and high spiritual energy/vibration by becoming extraphysical without need of technology.
"Transcendentialism is what humanity actually need nowadays, even it might be hard to adopt it nowadays, human evolution will eventually lead into this, it's just a matter of time and technological, scientific and spiritual evolution of mankind, if we want to reach a type IV or type V civilization of Kardashev scale, we will eventually lead into the ideas of transcendentialism, divinialism, extraphysicism and spiritualicism."
