Transgender (n.)  跨性別(英語:Transgender)人士的性別認同與其出生時的生理性徵不同 [1] [2] [3]。如果跨性別人士以醫學手段從一種性別過渡到另一種性別,則會被稱為變性人。「跨性別」是一個傘式術語:除了包括性別認同與其出生時的生理性徵相反的人(跨性別男性、跨性別女性),它還可能包括不完全歸屬於傳統上的男性或女性的人(性別酷兒者/性別非二元者,例子有雙性別者、泛性別者、流性人、無性別者) [2] [4] [5]。有些定義則把第三性也歸類於跨性別之下,或概念性地視跨性別為第三性 [6] [7]。 跨性別的定義很少會廣至包含異裝者,而不論其性別認同 [8]

跨性別者的性傾向獨立於其性別認同 [9]:跨性別者可能自我認同為異性戀者、同性戀者、雙性戀者、無性戀者,以至拒絕為其性傾向下一個標籤。「跨性別」一詞亦可跟雙性人作區分,雙性人是指出生時所具有的身體性別特徵「不符合典型的男女身體二元概念」[10]。跨性別的相反詞則為順性別——順性別者的性別認同與其出生時的生理性徵一致。

個人對於外表的感覺良好且認為其符合性別認同的情況則稱為「跨性別一致」(transgender congruence[11]。許多跨性別者經歷性別不安症,當中有些則尋求荷爾蒙補充療法、性別重置手術以及心理治療(但需注意的是,心理治療無法改變跨性別人士的性別認同 [12]:1568。)[13] 。不是所有跨性別者皆渴望接受這些治療,也有些則因為經濟或醫學方面的原因而無法接受之 [13] [14]

大多數跨性別人士在工作及公共場所 [15] [16],和在醫療機構求診時 [17]  遭他人歧視。許多地方的法律沒有阻止此一情況發生的條文 [18]

People have a  gender identity  or gender expression that differs from their  assigned sex. [1] [2] [3]  Transgender people are sometimes called  transsexual  if they desire medical assistance to  transition  from one sex to another. Transgender  is also an  umbrella term: in addition to including people whose gender identity is the opposite of their assigned sex (trans men  and  trans women), it may include people who are not exclusively masculine or feminine (people who are  genderqueer  or non-binary, including  bigender,  pangender, genderfluid, or agender). [2] [4] [5]  Other definitions of  transgender  also include people who belong to a  third gender, or conceptualize transgender people as a third gender. [6] [7]  Infrequently, the term  transgender  is defined very broadly to include  cross-dressers, [8]  regardless of their gender identity.

Being transgender is independent of  sexual orientation: [9]  transgender people may identify as heterosexual, homosexual,  bisexual,  asexual, or may decline to label their sexual orientation. The term  transgender  is also distinguished from  intersex, a term that describes people born with physical sex characteristics "that do not fit typical binary notions of male or female bodies". [10]  The counterpart of  transgender  is  cisgender, which describes persons whose gender identity or expression matches their assigned sex.

The degree to which individuals feel genuine, authentic, and comfortable within their external appearance and accept their genuine identity has been called  transgender congruence. [11]  Many transgender people experience  gender dysphoria, and some seek medical treatments such as  hormone replacement therapy,  sex reassignment surgery, or  psychotherapy. [12]  Not all transgender people desire these treatments, and some cannot undergo them for financial or medical reasons. [12] [13]

Most transgender people face discrimination in the workplace [14]  and in accessing public accommodations, [15]  and healthcare. [16]  In many places they are  not legally protected from discrimination. [17]

Transgender (a.) 變性的 Used to describe someone who feels that they are not the same gender (= sex) as the physical body they were born with, or who does not fit easily into being either a male or a female.

// A transgender woman/ man.
