Welcome to The Transgender Dictionary.

This resource serves to help anyone who may need it via providing definitions, explanations, and additional resources on topics related to being trans and the transgender community. For those who may not be sure what a term means, or are looking for help, I hope that you may find it here.

While not everything present may be 100% transgender related, the focus is still to bring clarity to those who may find confusion when coming across new terms. I also hope to link as many relevant external resources as I can that may help those seeking more information from those more professional than I.

Disclaimer:
Just because a resource is linked does not inherently mean that I endorse everything regarding the organization or people who created said resource.
Also, I am not nor do I claim to be any sort of medical professional.

If you see errors/typos, or have anything to add, please send an ask or message to my tumblr the-transgenda-agenda.

The answer to "why isn't x on here" or "why isn't there more resources/research for x" is that there is only one person behind this site. One person who doesn't always have time for research. If you send me things to be added/edited, it will be a massive help for expanding this dictionary to help as many people as possible.

Sometimes pages will be created as a sort of a "placeholder" when I only have a small handful of useful information to add, until I can get around to adding more comprehensive information to the page in question.

The bottom of each page should have an "escape" button for those who are unfortunately living in environments where it may be unsafe to be viewing information regarding The Transgender Community. If you are one of these people who would have to utilize such a button, I just want you to know; it can and will get better. There's nothing wrong with you for being a part of, or simply wanting to support this community. You are not wrong for being who you are. You matter.

I do not claim to be an authority on these topics. I am not an expert researcher or anything. Like I said, there is one person behind all of this. This website and the pages within are a collection of my thoughts and my research. This is done in my spare time.

Thank you very much for reading, and hope that you find this resource of some use.
