'''Transgender''' (often shortened to '''trans''') is a term referring to an individual whose [[Gender Identity|gender identity]] does not entirely, always, or at all correspond with their [[Assigned Gender|assigned gender at birth]] (AGAB).
Transgender is not a gender identity on its own, rather it is a [[Gender Modality|gender modality]]; it expresses that there is a difference between one's AGAB and one's gender identity.
Line 19:
'''Binary trans''' individuals are those who identify fully, solely and statically as one of the two western [[binary]] genders ([[men]] and [[women]]). This includes both binary trans women and binary trans men, often referred to simply as trans women and trans men. It is also possible for one to be a [[Non-Binary Woman|non-binary (trans) woman]]/[[Non-Binary Man|man]].
*'''Trans women''' are women who were generally not assigned female at birth, most commonly referring to women who were assigned male at birth (AMAB). Trans women may also identify as [[transfeminine]]
*'''Trans men''' are men who were generally not assigned male at birth, most commonly referring to men who were assigned female at birth
* Binary trans women and men may also have been [[AXAB|assigned X at birth]]/[[UAB|unassigned at birth]] (though not all AXAB or UAB individuals are/identify as trans, or as men/women).
* [[AFAB Transfem]] and [[AMAB Transmasc]] individuals also exist.
Line 27:
Any individual whose gender identity is not fully, solely and/or always aligned with their [[AGAB]] may identify as trans. This means that [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] gender identities are inherently included by the term transgender, and that any non-binary individuals can identify as transgender, if they wish to. Many, but not all non-binary individuals, however, do not identify themselves as trans and do not use the label transgender to describe their experiences/identities.
Non-binary individuals may also identify as [[transneutral]],

===Trans+ and Trans*===
Sometimes "trans" is written as '''trans+''' or '''[[trans*]]'''. The asterisk or plus sign indicate inclusion of all transgender, non-binary, and associated identities (such as drag queens/kings and crossdressers), without having to write out "transgender, non-binary, and associated identities" in full every time. Many drag queens/kings and crossdressers are trans or non-binary, and use drag as a way to explore their gender identity.

▲An alternative trans flag was created based on Monica Helms' flag by reddit user 33ducks around February 2021, with more shades of blue and pink representing a wider variety of ways to be trans. This flag also does not keep the blue/boy on the outside and pink/girl on the inside stripe pattern.
