Please note that while some sections of this dictionary may speak about certain concepts in binary terms that nonbinary and intersex people do, in fact, exist. The human experience is not a monolith, and neither are these groups of people. There is a huge variety when it comes to both sex and gender. What works for one person may not work for another. Everyone looks and feels different. Every body is different. Procedures which may be 'traditionally' for trans men or trans women may be mixed and matched depending on personal preference. It is impossible to account for every possible situation when making resources like this, but it is important to note that what is written down is not the only option
The transgender experience is highly subjective. There is no "trans enough." If you're trans, then you're trans. Its up to you to decide what you want to do with yourself, and how you want to live your life. Find what is right for you, and do it. The standards or expectations of others should not be the reason you decide to get this surgery or that garment or whatever. Its your body to customize. Its your body that you'll be in for the rest of your life.
So live it.

- Science Direct: Chapter Four - Gender Stereotypes and Discrimination: How Sexism Impacts Development (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0065240715000348) - In this chapter, we summarize and integrate some of the latest developmental science research on gender stereotypes and discrimination in childhood and adolescence. We focus on five forms of sexism: (a) stereotypes and discrimination against boys regarding their school behaviors and disciplinary actions; (b) stereotypes and discrimination against girls in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) domains; (c) stereotypes and discrimination in sports; (d) peer gendered harassment, including sexual harassment and teasing because of gender atypicality or nonconformity; and (e) sexualized gender stereotypes that sexually objectify girls and assume boys are sexually voracious. First, we document each type of sexism and examine children's awareness and perceptions of that bias, including their own self-reports and attributions. We examine the implications of this sexism for children and adolescents’ developmental health (i.e., social, academic, and psychological well-being). We then draw connections between these various areas of research, focusing on how these different forms of sexism interact to reduce equity and justice among children and negatively impact positive developmental outcomes. The chapter concludes with suggestions for future research.

It began as a web-based resource for contra-hormone therapy and transition information for gender variant individuals, their loved-ones and their health providers. In 2007, the clinic opened in Bucks County, Pennsylvania and aspires to be a center of excellence for the care of transgender individuals and their families.
Papillon Center is comprised of both trans and non-trans professionals and volunteers. Our aim is to deliver diverse, expert services and specialize in just one thing... transgender care. Providers are specially selected as leaders in their field, who have the right mix of passion, expertise, and real-life understanding of transgender issues. It is a requirement that all providers keep up-to-date with current developments in their particular field as it relates to transgender care.
While avoiding the "gate-keeper" mentality, our team works together to provide a multifaceted approach to all aspects of transition. We realize how expensive and time-consuming transition can be, so our holistic approach has been tailored to provide up-to-date services conveniently safely, and affordably. We also make every effort to reach out to the transgender as well as the non-transgender community to facilitate awareness of the amazing variety of gender identity and expression."

The Trans Health Project's primary activities include developing a network of attorneys capable of challenging exclusions and medical necessity denials; launching a national health care helpline for transgender individuals and advocates to receive timely assistance; and educating individuals, transgender organizations, medical and mental health providers and billing offices.
The Trans Health Project engages in alternative dispute resolution and policy advocacy to establish positive precedent in priority areas including Medicaid, employee-sponsored health plans, and ending the ongoing categorical exclusions for common surgeries such as facial surgery and chest surgery for transgender minors."

Transanta exists to show trans youth that they are loved and supported, and that they have a family of people around the world who care for them, believe in them, and want them to succeed.
Research shows that trans youth with supportive families have a 52% decrease in suicidal thoughts—Transanta aims to broaden our understanding of family and structural support so that our entire community can experience affirmation and love even when those close to them may hurt or fail them.
Ultimately, our capacity for love, care, and connection can disrupt some of the structural limits on our survival opportunities and create more space for people to thrive and continue rich trans legacies of social and political transformation."
