To start, it's essential to understand what it means to be transgender. The term "transgender" refers to an individual whose gender identity does not align with the sex they were assigned at birth. This can include individuals who identify as male or female, as well as those who identify as non-binary, genderqueer, or genderfluid. Being transgender is not the same as being transvestite or cross-dressing, which refers to the act of wearing clothing associated with a different sex.

The gay and lesbian movements of the mid-20th century often relied on the argument that sexual orientation was innate and immutable—"born this way." While effective for civil rights arguments, this logic sometimes clashed with trans identity. The trans community forced a more radical idea: that gender is a social construct, separate from biological sex. This distinction—between sex (anatomy/hormones) and gender (identity/expression)—is now a bedrock principle of queer theory and LGBTQ education.
