For people that are transgender, the sex they were assigned at birth and their own internal gender identity do not match. Some people that are transgender try to bring their body in alignment with their identity, called a transition.FlagThe light blue stripes are the traditional color for baby boys. The pink stripes the traditional color for baby girls. The white stripe is for those who are transitioning or consider themselves having a neutral or undefined gender.&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Healthcare&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;This involves many surgeries such as top surgeries, gender reconstructive surgeries, the list goes on. People that are transgender can seek out voice therapy to change their voice to match their desired gender.&nbsp; Cost is the main barrier. Most health insurance companies do not cover surgeries or therapies. So, it is all out of pocket. For people that are transgender, this is near impossible because of income, especially if they are not out or not supported by their loved ones.&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Sexual Orientation&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;Like everyone else, transgender people have a sexual orientation. People that are transgender may be straight, lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer. For example, a person who transitions from male-aligned to female-aligned and is attracted solely to male-aligned individuals&nbsp; would typically identify as a straight individual. A person who transitions from female-aligned to male-aligned and is attracted solely to people that are male-aligned would typically identify as a gay individual.&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Pronouns &amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;Pronouns are extremely important for people that are transgender. Ask their pronouns and name. People that are transgender may go by a different name then what was given to them at birth. If you&amp;#039;re unsure which pronoun a person uses, listen first to the pronoun other people use when referring to that person. If you must ask which pronoun the person uses, start with your own. For example, &amp;quot;Hi, I&amp;#039;m Alex and I use the pronouns he and him. What about you?&amp;quot; If you accidently use the wrong pronoun for someone, apologize quickly and sincerely, then move forward with intention. The bigger deal you make out of the situation, the more uncomfortable it is for everyone.So if you are or know someone who is transgender, you are valid.
