different between transgendered vs nontransgendered

English

Adjective

transgendered (comparative more transgendered, superlative most transgendered)

1. (now uncommon and often offensive and proscribed) Transgender; denoting or relating to a person whose gender identity does not correspond with their sex assigned at birth.

Usage notes

• Historically, transgendered was common, both inside and outside the transgender community, until about 2000 (Julia Serano, trans writer, notes its use in "classic" trans-related books such as Kate Bornstein’s Gender Outlaw and Leslie Feinberg’s Trans Liberation, and compares it to the accepted term gendered), but the term transgender has become more common and is preferred by many transgender people. Although some still accept transgendered, several dictionaries, style guides and other authorities proscribe it, often comparing its use to the hypothetical use of lesbianed in place of lesbian.

   • 1996, Laura Kipnis, Bound and Gagged:

     We in the nontransgendered population generally don't devote much thought to why we assume you can tell a person's sex by looking at his or her clothes, or why there's something that seems not quite right about a man in a beaded evening gown.
