Seorang dapat dianggap orang transgender apabila identitas gender mereka tidak sama atau tidak berhubungan dengan jenis kelamin yang ditunjukkan saat lahir, dan berakibat pada peran gender dan status sosial yang biasanya terkait dengan jenis kelamin tersebut. Mereka dapat, atau ingin memiliki, status gender baru yang sesuai dengan identitas gender mereka. Transseksual biasanya dianggap bagian dari transgender,[1][2][3] tetapi beberapa orang transseksual menolak dicap transgender.[4][5][6][7]

The term transgender was coined by John Oliven (1965) and popularized by various transgender people who pioneered the concept and practice of transgenderism. It is sometimes said that Virginia Prince (1976) popularized the term, but history shows that many transgender people adovcated the use of this term much more than Prince.

  7. ^ "retrieved 20 August 2015: " Transsexualism is often included within the broader term 'transgender', which is generally considered an umbrella term for people who do not conform to typically accepted gender roles for the sex they were assigned at birth. The term 'transgender' is a word employed by activists to encompass as many groups of gender diverse people as possible. However, many of these groups individually don't identify with the term. Many health clinics and services set up to serve gender variant communities employ the term, however most of the people using these services again don't identify with this term. The rejection of this political category by those that it is designed to cover clearly illustrates the difference between self-identification and categories that are imposed by observers to understand other people."".
