Transgenderism Transgenderism

Transgenderism - Definition and Overview

Transgenderism is often used as synonymous with transgender. However, transgenderist often (but not always) refers specifically to people who live in a gender role other than that of their birth sex, use Hormone replacement therapy but who do not wish to have sex reassignment surgery, and often even oppose other people having sex reassigment surgery or at least genital reassigment surgery.

Transgender people therefore often feel that being called "transgenderist" is wrong or even discriminating.
