Usage notes

• The term transgender was coined in 1965 and popularized in the late 1970s, and by the 1990s it had largely displaced the older, narrower term transsexual. Transsexual is now often considered outdated although some people still prefer it; see its entry for more. Neither term should be confused with transvestite (which see for more).

Usage notes

• In Western countries, many transgender people consider the use of transgender (and similar adjectives) as a noun to be offensive, and several guides advise against such usage. "A transgender man" (for a man who was assigned the female sex at birth) or "a transgender woman" (for the reverse) is frequently more appropriate.

"A transgender man" (for a man who was assigned the female sex at birth) or "a transgender woman" (for a woman who was assigned the male sex at birth) is frequently more appropriate.
