Unicode: U+26A7 ⚧|link=https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/File:Transgender_symbol.png]]'''Transgender''' (often shortened to '''trans''') is a term referring to
Transgender is not a gender identity on its own, rather it is a [[Gender Modality|gender modality]]; It shows that there is a difference between one's assigned gender at birth and one's actual gender.
Line 9:
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. However, performing drag does not inherently make one trans or associated with the trans community.
=== Transgender vs. Transsexual ===
'''Transsexual''' is an older term originating in the medical and psychological communities. It was previously used interchangeably with transgender, and is still used by some older transgender people. In the modern day, transsexual or [[transsex]] can also be used as a term to refer to

'''Transitioning''' refers to the act of beginning to live as one's actual gender, rather than the gender they were assigned at birth. Transitioning can be social and medical. Social transitioning typically involves going by one's chosen name, [[pronouns]], and often changing one's clothes, hair, and other parts of one's appearance to [[Gender Presentation|present]] as one's gender. Medical transitioning is the act of changing one's body to be closer to one's desired body. It can include [[Hormone Replacement Therapy|hormone replacement therapy]] (HRT), and surgeries. Both of these things can help with dysphoria.

Line 79:
There are many variations of the transgender flag, and many more have been created throughout the years. A few common variations are as follows
The black transgender/POC flag was created by trans activist and writer Raquel Willis<ref>http://www.raquelwillis.com/</ref> as a symbolic show of the level of violence towards those that are both
An alternative flag was created by user [[User:Metanøiia|Arson]] to explicitly include POC non-binary
Another example of a variation of the transgender flag was "The Trans Flag", created by graphic designer Michelle Lindsay in Ottawa, Canada<ref>http://gendermosaic.com/about-our-flag/</ref>. This flag incorporates sunset fuscia to represent female, ocean blue to represent male, and has the unicode transgender symbol overlaid in white to represent the trans community as a whole. The colours are bold to represent confidence and pride with the sunset and ocean colours representing the unlimited horizons of the trans movement. This flag was first used in 2010 in Ottawa for the Trans Day of Remembrance and is raised yearly. This flag has also been seen in a number of pride protests.
