IF YOU NEED A REHER ON ANY OF THE TERMS ED ON THIS PAGE, CHECK OUT OUR LGBTQ GLOSSARY. IF YOU ARE TRANSGENR AND SEEKG ROURC, VIS OUR TRANSGENR ROURC PAGE. GENR INTRODUCTN WHEN DISCSG THE TERM “TRANSGENR,” IS EFUL TO BEG BY EXAMG THE NCEPT OF GENR. WE BEG BY SEPARATG SEX OM GENR. SEX REFERS TO BLOGIL AND PHYSIL CHARACTERISTICS THAT ARE LKED WH BEG LABELED MALE OR FEMALE. SEX IS LABELED AT BIRTH, UALLY ON THE BASIS OF GENALIA AND/OR CHROMOSOM. GENR REFERS TO THE BATN OF CHARACTERISTICS, EXPECTATNS, AND ROL UALLY ASSOCIATED WH ONE’S SEX ASSIGNED AT BIRTH – OFTEN PLACED ON A SPECTM BETWEEN MASCULE AND FEME. THE NCEPT OF GENR IS PLITED BEE MOST ASPECTS OF GENR ARE SOCIAL NSTCTS THAT VARY ACROSS TIME AND CULTURE. FOR EXAMPLE, GENR PRENTATN (APPEARANCE, CLOTHG, MANNERISMS, AND BEHAVRS) AND GENR ROL (SOCIAL ROL, OCCUPATNAL CHOIC) VARY WILY PENDG ON THE CULTURE AND ERA. A CENTRAL ASPECT OF GENR IS GENR INTY. GENR INTY IS THE SELF-IMAGE THAT ONE HAS ABOUT ONE’S OWN GENR AS MASCULE, FEME, OR OTHERWISE. OFTEN, PEOPLE ASSUME THAT GENR INTY IS NGENT WH BLOGIL SEX; THEY BELIEVE THAT A FEMALE WILL INTIFY AS FEME, AND A MALE WILL INTIFY AS MASCULE. HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT TE FOR EVERYONE, SCE SOME PEOPLE WH MALE BLOGY FEEL STRONGLY FEME, AND SOME WH FEMALE BLOGY FEEL THEMSELV TO BE MASCULE. OTHERS DO NOT NSIR THEIR GENR TO BE EHER FEME OR MASCULE, BUT A BLEND OF BOTH; STILL OTHERS FEEL THAT THEY ARE NEHER MASCULE NOR FEME, BUT SOME OTHER THIRD GENR. IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT GENR IS A MALLEABLE AND VARIABLE TEGORY. TRANSGENR INTRODUCTN PEOPLE WHO FY GENR NORMS HAVE EXISTED EVERY CULTURE THROUGHOUT TIME. HOWEVER, THE TERM “TRANSGENR” IS RELATIVELY NEW, DATG TO THE MID-1990S. IT IS EFUL TO THK OF THE WORD “TRANSGENR” AS AN UMBRELLA TERM THAT ENPASS A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE SUBSTANTIAL PORTNS OF THEIR LIV EXPRSG AN NATE SENSE OF GENR OTHER THAN THEIR SEX ASSIGNED AT BIRTH. THIS CLUS TRANSSEXUALS, CROSS-DRSERS AND ALL OTHER PEOPLE WHO FEEL LIKE THEIR SEX ASSIGNED AT BIRTH FAILS TO REFLECT THEIR TE GENR. PEOPLE WHO DO NOT INTIFY AS TRANSGENR N BE LLED “CISGENR,” MEANG THAT THEY INTIFY WH THEIR SEX ASSIGNED AT BIRTH. OFTEN, THE WORD “TRANSNG” IS ED TO SCRIBE THE PERD OF MOVG AWAY OM ONE’S ASSIGNED SEX TO CLOSER ALIGNMENT WH GENR INTY. PHYSIL TRANSNG MAY SCRIBE SURGIL, HORMONAL, OR OTHER CHANG TO ONE’S BODY. HORMONAL TREATMENTS (OFTEN TROGEN OR TTOSTERONE) MAY BE REFERRED TO AS HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY (HRT). SURGIL TERVENTNS ARE UALLY SCRIBED AS GENR NFIRMATN SURGERY. SOCIALLY TRANSNG MAY SCRIBE ASKG IENDS TO E A CHOSEN PRONOUN, ASKG LLEAGU TO RPECT ONE’S GENR INTY, AND OTHER ACTS OF DISCLOSURE. LEGALLY TRANSN MAY CLU A LEGAL NAME CHANGE AND CHANG TO GENR MARKERS ON LEGAL DOCUMENTS. IF SPECIFYG THAT SOMEONE IS TRANS IS NECSARY (ALTHOUGH UALLY ISN’T), THE FOLLOWG TERMOLOGY SHOULD BE ED: SOMEONE WHO WAS ASSIGNED FEMALE AT BIRTH AND WHO NOW INTIFI AS A MAN ULD BE KNOWN AS A TRANS MAN OR A TRANSGENR MAN. LIKEWISE, SOMEONE WHO WAS ASSIGNED MALE AT BIRTH AND WHO NOW INTIFI AS A WOMAN MIGHT BE LABELED A TRANS WOMAN OR A TRANSGENR WOMAN. IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN, JT AS TRANS MEN ARE MEN. NON-BARY, GENRQUEER, AND AGENR PEOPLE SHOULD BE REFERRED TO THE TERMS THEY E TO SCRIBE THEMSELV. ADDRSG TRANSGENR PEOPLE THE WAY THEY PREFER TO BE ADDRSED (CLUDG CHOSEN NAME AND PREFERRED PRONOUNS) MONSTRAT RPECT. SOME PEOPLE MAY CHOOSE TO E GENR-NTRAL PRONOUNS, SUCH AS “ZE/HIR/HIRS,” AS THE SENTENCE “THAT BOOK IS HIRS. ZE BROUGHT HIR FAVORE BOOK.” MORE MONLY, “THEY/THEM/THEIRS” IS E AS A GENR-NTRAL SGULAR PRONOUN, AS “THAT BOOK IS THEIRS. THEY BROUGHT THEIR FAVORE BOOK.” OTHER PRONOUNS ARE E; THE BT WAY TO FD OUT SOMEONE’S PREFERRED PRONOUN IS TO SIMPLY ASK. YOU N LEARN MORE ABOUT PRONOUNS ON OUR PRONOUN PAGE. TRANSGENR PEOPLE MAY INTIFY AS LBIAN, BISEXUAL, GAY, HETEROSEXUAL, OR SOME OTHER SEXUAL ORIENTATN. HAVG EXPERIENCED DISCRIMATN, PREJUDICE, OPPRSN, FEAR AND SHAME, TRANS PEOPLE SHARE MONALTI WH LGB PEOPLE. LIKE LGB PEOPLE, TRANSGENR DIVIDUALS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HI WHO THEY ARE ORR TO HAVE SAFE AND SATISFYG LIV. HOWEVER, ’S IMPORTANT TO KEEP MD THE DIFFERENT EXPERIENC HELD BY EACH SECTN OF THE LGBTQ MUNY. TO LEARN MORE ABOUT WAYS TO BE AN ALLY TO TRANS PEOPLE, CHECK OUT SOME OF THE FOLLOWG ROURC. PFLAG’S OUR TRANS LOVED ON HRC’S TRANSGENR FAQ PRACTICG INCLN MANY PEOPLE HAVE QUTNS ABOUT HOW TO SEND SIGNALS OF CLN TO TRANSGENR PEOPLE. REGARDLS OF NTEXT, EVERYONE N WORK TO CREATE ENVIRONMENTS THAT ARE MORE CLIVE OF A DIVERSY OF GENR INTI. BELOW YOU WILL FD BASIC PRCIPL OF CLN.

VIS OUR SUPPORTG CHOSEN NAM AND PRONOUNS PAGE AND THE CHOSEN NAM JHU SYSTEMS PAGE TO NTUE LEARNG. USE THE RRECT NAME. THE RRECT NAME IS ALWAYS THE ONE THAT SOMEONE CHOOS TO E TO REFER TO THEMSELV. REGARDLS OF SOMEONE’S LEGAL NAME, ALWAYS E THE NAME THEY CHOOSE. MAKE EASY FOR PEOPLE TO SHARE THE NAME THEY E BY CLUDG A NICKNAME FIELD ON FORMS AND NAMETAGS. DO NOT ASK TRANSGENR PEOPLE ABOUT THE NAM THEY ED BEFORE THEY TRANSNED. CERTA PUTER SYSTEMS AT HOPKS ALLOW FOR A “CHOSEN NAME.” VIS OUR NAME CHANGE PAGE FOR MORE RMATN. USE THE RRECT PRONOUN. IT IS A GOOD IA TO ASK “WHAT PRONOUN DO YOU E?” WHEN YOU MEET SOMEONE FOR THE FIRST TIME. YOU N ALSO ASK PEOPLE TO SHARE PRONOUNS WHEN THEY FILL OUT A REGISTRATN FORM OR RMATN SHEET. YOU N MAKE EASY FOR PEOPLE TO SHARE THEIR PRONOUNS WH YOU BY SHARG YOUR OWN PRONOUN VERBALLY AND YOUR EMAIL SIGNATURE. FOR EXAMPLE, “I AM DR. ERIC SMH. YOU N LL ME ERIC, AND I E HE/HIM/HIS PRONOUNS.” WHEN FACILATG A SMALL GROUP DISCSN, ASK PEOPLE TO SHARE THEIR PRONOUNS ALONG WH THEIR NAM AS A PART OF THE DISCSN. FOR EXAMPLE, “LET’S GO AROUND THE GROUP AND DO TRODUCTNS. PLEASE SHARE YOUR NAME, YOUR MAJOR, AND YOUR PRONOUN. I’LL START. MY NAME IS YVONNE, I’M BME, AND I E THEY/THEM/THEIRS.” IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE, RRECT YOURSELF AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND TRY NOT TO REPEAT THE MISTAKE. IF YOU HEAR SOMEONE ELSE E AN RRECT PRONOUN, SIMPLY RRECT THEM BY SAYG “I THK THAT CLARISSA SHE/HER/HERS FOR HER PRONOUNS.” WE’VE CREATED A PDF DOCUMENT: PRONOUN GUI YOU N PRT AND SHARE. PROTECT NFINTIALY. IF YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW THAT SOMEONE IS TRANSGENR, IS NOT YOUR BS TO TELL OTHER PEOPLE THAT RMATN. REGARDLS OF HOW SOMEONE INTIFIED THE PAST, E THEIR CURRENT PRONOUN AND NAME. YOU WOULD NOT SAY “BACK THEN, I KNEW JULIE AS FRANK. FRANK TOLD ME THAT HE SAW THE FUNNIT THG THE LIBRARY.” YOU WOULD SAY, “JULIE TOLD ME A STORY ABOUT HOW SHE SAW THE FUNNIT THG.” USE CLIVE LANGUAGE. MOST GENR-SPECIFIC LANGUAGE N BE REPLACED WH CLIVE ALTERNATIV. INSTEAD OF SAYG “LADI AND GENTLEMEN” OR “MEN AND WOMEN,” TRY “EVERYONE,” “PEOPLE,” OR “FOLKS.” IF YOU ARE CREATG A FORM, NSIR WHETHER YOU REALLY NEED TO HAVE A QUTN ABOUT SEX OR GENR. IF YOU DO NEED TO HAVE THAT QUTN, PROVI SEVERAL GENR OPTNS. PDF DOCUMENT: SEE OUR SUGGTED FORM FOR IAS ABOUT HOW TO DO THIS. TRY NOT TO MAKE ASSUMPTNS ABOUT THE GENRS OF PEOPLE YOU TERACT WH. INSTEAD OF LLG ON “THE WOMAN THE BACK ROW,” YOU MIGHT SAY “THE PERSON THE BLUE SHIRT THE BACK ROW.” “THEY” IS WILY BEG ACCEPTED AS A PRONOUN THAT N CLU EVERYONE, AND IS FAR LS AWKWARD THAN HAVG TO SAY “SHE OR HE” REGULARLY.
