Transgender is the term used to describe a person whose gender identity differs from the sex the person was identified as having at birth. The word is an adjective, not a noun.
A transgender man
Transgender rights
A woman who is transgender
Transgender people
Transsexual is a dated and often offensive term used to talk about transgender people. It is sometimes used in self-reference but may give offense when used by others. The term transgender is preferred.
