Concept
Gender Minorities
- Gender minority is an umbrella term that refers to a diverse group of individuals with gender behaviors, expressions and identities that depart from the societal norms and expectations associated with their assigned sex at birth.
- Transgender and gender diverse people are a group for whom their sex assigned at birth differs from their gender identity.
- The transgender and gender diverse population is diverse and includes transgender women (individuals assigned male at birth who identify as women), transgender men (individuals assigned female at birth who identify as men), as well as individuals whose gender identity is non-binary (e.g., gender nonconforming, genderqueer people) or who do not identify with a gender.
