Who Are Transgender People?

"Transgender people - A nebulous category that can include anyone who crosses gender boundaries, regardless of whether that crossing is permanent or intentional; anyone who exhibits characteristics of a gender that does not match their apparent physical sex."
James Green
President of FtM International

“We, as a community need to work together to teach and to learn tolerance of one another, whether you identify as transgender, intersex or non transgender, gay or straight, rich or poor, black, brown, yellow or white, we are one people, all variations, all with one goal to be acknowledged for who we are, not what we are!”
