Describe the common transgender categories.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. Because transgender is independent of sexual orientation, people may identify as heterosexual, gay, bisexual, or asexual. The three most common categories (American PsychologicalAssociation, 2014) are the following:Transsexuals are people whose gender identity differs from their assigned sex. Some, but not all, undergo hormone treatment or surgery to change their physical sex to resemble their gender identity.Cross-dressers wear clothing that is traditionally or stereotypically worn by another gender in their culture. People who cross-dress are usually comfortable with their assigned sex and do not wish to change it.Genderqueer are people who identify their gender as falling somewhere on a continuum between female and male, or a combination of gender identities and sexual orientations.
