What Transgender means and How You Know Someone Is Transgender

Transgender is a term used to describe people whose gender identity differ from the sex they where assigned at birth. Transgender is used as an adjective and should never be used as a noun. Transgender should never end with -ed.  Many transgender people will transition into a sex that differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. As part of the transition process, many transgender people want to change their bodies to align with their gender. Some work with doctors for hormone therapy, and some will undergo surgeries as well. People will realize that they are transgender at many different ages. Some can track it back to when they were younger but others may need more time to realize that they are transgender. Some people may spend years feeling like they don't fit in not really knowing why, or may try to avoid thinking about their gender out of fear, shame, or confusion. Trying to repress or change one's gender identity doesn't work; in fact, it can be very painful and damaging to one's emotional and mental health. As transgender people become more visible in the media and in community life across the country, more transgender people are able to name and understand their own experiences and may feel sager and more comfortable sharing it with others.

Some people think that determining who is male or female at birth is a simple matter of checking the baby's external anatomy, but there's actually a lot more to it. Every year, an estimated one in 2,000 babies are born with a set of characteristics that can't easily be classified as "male" or "female." People whose bodies fall in the vast continuum between "male" and "female" are often known as  intersex  people. There are many different types of intersex conditions. For example, some people a

Special Interview from Corey

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B37y9-21zSWpb0NVZENvWl9ibF9NSjlrVVRXWFFnQ1dLRXlV I had gotten the chance to interview the very famous Corey Maison for my project. Corey was very happy to be interviewed and was grateful that I had chosen her to be my interviewee for my project. The first video is a video of our interview, since there was no sound one of my teachers helped me out and we borrowed someone else's phone so that we could voice record our interview too. I hope that one day I will get to meet Corey in person and I can tell her all about my experience of being  transgender too.
