A Note

Think of the information presented here as more of a guide than a rulebook.

Just because a topic is explained or defined in this text does not mean that description aligns with the identities, experiences, practices, or beliefs of the entire LGBTQIA2-S+ community. All people deserve respect regardless of their place on the vast spectrum of sexual orientation and gender identity and whether they do or do not fit within the definitions presented here.

It is important to recognize that every person has a unique background (race, religion, cultural practices, family support, etc.) that impacts their individual experience as a member of the LGBTQIA2-S+ community.

The language used in this guide was sourced from well-known LGBTQIA2-S+ organizations and advocacy groups and aims to reflect the current terminology at the time of its writing (2022). This is a non-exhaustive text and the absence of a topic or concept from this document is not a comment on its importance or value.

Transgender | A Guide is intended for personal use by Sasha Romero. Some of the information in this text was copied from materials produced by other organizations, including The Human Rights Campaign, PFLAG, Straight for Equality, National Center for Transgender Equality, GLAAD, and Trans Empowerment Project.
