List of transgender-related topics
\n
Transgender is a very complex topic, where definitions are often still shifting. Usually, the only way to find out how exactly a person identifies is to ask them, and sometimes, transgender people either cannot or will not define themselves any more narrowly than
transgender,
queer, or
genderqueer.
Books and articles written about transgender people or culture are often outdated by the time they are published, if they were not already, due to inappropriate and/or outdated questions or premises, outdated before they were written.
\nNot only
psychology and
medicine, but also
social sciences deal with transgender people, and both start from very different points of view, and offer very different perspectives and use a different nomenclature. The difference is mirrored by transgendered people and their attitude towards transgender issues. It can often be seen in the articles listed below.
