Transgender individuals are people whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. Gender identity refers to a person's internal sense of their own gender, which may be male, female, a blend of both, or neither. This experience can lead some transgender individuals to seek medical or social transition, which may include hormone therapy or changing their name and pronouns. It is important to recognize that being transgender is a valid aspect of human diversity. Many transgender individuals face challenges, including discrimination and lack of understanding from society. Supportive environments and acceptance can significantly improve their well-being and quality of life.
