An adjective for people whose gender identity or expression differs from the sex they were assigned at birth.
The process of aligning one's life and/or body with their gender identity. This can be social (changing names/pronouns), medical (hormones/surgery), or legal (updating documents). 🏛️ Cultural Context: India and South Asia
To understand why the transgender community and LGBTQ culture are often spoken of in the same breath, one must return to the humid New York City night of June 28, 1969. The Stonewall Inn was a dilapidated mafia-run bar, but it was one of the few places where the most marginalized could gather. While history often highlights the "gay" men and "lesbian" women present, the vanguard of the resistance—the ones who threw the first punches and bricks—were largely transgender women of color.
