LGBTQ+ culture is rooted in a history of resistance against persecution and a celebration of diversity.
The term (or trans ) is an umbrella term for people whose gender identity—their internal sense of being male, female, or another gender—differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. This is distinct from cisgender , where identity matches the birth sex.
: Being transgender is about who you are (gender identity), while being gay, lesbian, or bisexual is about who you are attracted to (sexual orientation). Transgender people can have any sexual orientation.
