Transgender individuals are people whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. For example, someone assigned female at birth may identify as male, or someone assigned male at birth may identify as female. This experience can lead them to seek social, medical, or legal changes to align their external appearance with their true identity.
Understanding and supporting transgender individuals is important for fostering inclusivity. Many face challenges such as discrimination and misunderstanding, which can impact their mental health. By promoting awareness and acceptance, we can create a more supportive environment for everyone, including those in the LGBTQ+ community.
