Magical being, respect at all costs.

A transgender is either a male with the body of a female (FtM), or, a female with the body of a male MtF). This means their gender is not determined by their genatalia. (Even though it's common to think that is the case, it never is.) A transgender has NOT undergone a gender change operation. Transgenders who do undergo a gender change operation will then become transsexuals. A transperson should always be referred to by their correct pronouns. In other words, do not call them by their biological gender, but rather what they identify as. A FtM should be called he/him/his, and a MtF should be called she/her/hers. Some transpeople have gender dysphoria. This means that they are extremely uncomfortable in their own skin. Some transpeople, on the other hand, are NOT gender dysphoric. This does not mean they are not transgender. Also, transpeople come to terms with their gender at different rates and in different ways. It doesn't make any difference whether a transperson decided they are transgendered at 4 years old or 60. Some may think they are just gay, or go as genderfluid / androgynous because they don't want to face the problems that come with being transgendered. Transgenders can be gay, lesbian, straight, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, or any other sexuality. Their sexuality is completely seperate from their gender.

an individual who does not identify with their assigned gender at birth.

this can include people who were assigned male at birth (afab) but align more with the female gender. these individuals are trans women. its can also go the other way around for trans men.

some people do not fit into the gender binary and can identify with something under the nonbinary umbrella. these people can be AFAB or AMAB. it doesnt matter

it is important to note that transgender is not its own gender. a trans man is still a man. same for trans women. just like a cis man is still a man.
