• Transgender (often shortened to trans): An adjective describing a person whose gender identity (internal sense of being male, female, or something else) differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. For example, a person assigned male at birth who identifies as a woman is a transgender woman; a person assigned female at birth who identifies as a man is a transgender man.
• Non-binary: A gender identity under the trans umbrella that does not fit exclusively into "man" or "woman." Non-binary people may identify as both, neither, or as genderfluid (changing over time). Not all non-binary people identify as transgender, but many do.
• Cisgender: A person whose gender identity aligns with their sex assigned at birth. This term is important for avoiding the assumption that cisgender is "normal" and transgender is "other."
