ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Transgender

Transgender means someone who doesn't identify with the gender they were assigned when they were born. For example, if you were born male but you don't feel like a boy, you might identify as transgender. This means you feel like you have a different gender than the one listed on your birth certificate. It's OK to feel this way. Everyone deserves to be respected no matter what gender they identify as.
