Seorang dapat dianggap orang transgender apabila identitas gender mereka tidak sama atau tidak berhubungan dengan jenis kelamin yang ditunjukkan saat lahir, dan berakibat pada peran gender dan status sosial yang biasanya terkait dengan jenis kelamin tersebut. Mereka dapat, atau ingin memiliki, status gender baru yang sesuai dengan identitas gender mereka. Transseksual biasanya dianggap bagian dari transgender,[1][2][3] tetapi beberapa orang transseksual menolak dicap transgender.[4][5][6][7]

The term transgender was coined by John Oliven (1965) and popularized by various transgender people who pioneered the concept and practice of transgenderism. It is sometimes said that Virginia Prince (1976) popularized the term, but history shows that many transgender people adovcated the use of this term much more than Prince.
