Definitions
'Trans' or 'transgender' describes people whose gender identity differs from their sex assigned at birth. They can be people who:
- identify as having a different gender to the one assigned at birth and
- are planning or have had medical help such as hormones or surgery
- are not planning any medical intervention
- intend to, are in the process of, or have undergone gender reassignment
- are non-binary (not solely male or female). They:
- may define themselves as both, neither or something different
- may or may not have medical interventions to align their body with their non-binary gender identity
'Transitioning' is where a trans person aligns their gender presentation with their gender identity. This may involve:
- dressing differently
- using a different name
- using a different pronoun (for example, she, he or they)
- changing official documentation
- medical interventions
We recognise there is no right or wrong way to transition. We are committed to supporting each individual during the process of transition.
