The United States created Transgender Day of Visibility in 2021 via a Presidential proclamation as an annual observance honoring the achievements and resiliency of transgender individuals and communities, including their struggles, activism, and courage.
A person identifies as transgender when he or she feels and believes the sex they were born with is not their authentic gender. For example, a male will identify and prefer to live as female and visversa. Changing one's biological sex, or as the community prefers, gender, can involve hormone drug therapy and surgery, but not always. Sometimes it is as basic as changing names, pronouns and wearing different clothes.
A transgender woman is born male but identifies as female.
A transgender man is born female but identifies as male.
Transgender is not the same as being gay, lesbian or bisexual. These terms describe sexual orientation and a person's preference in romantic and sexual relationships. Transgender refers to the gender (biological sexual) identity, how individuals see themselves regardless of their biology or sexual orientation. Transgender people identify as heterosexual, gay, lesbian, bisexual, or a combination.
Roughly 0.03 percent of the global population identifies as transgender.
