List of transgender-related topics
Transgender is a very complex topic, where consensual and precise definitions have not yet been reached. Usually, the only way to find out how exactly
people identify themselves is to ask them, and sometimes,
transgender people either cannot or will not define themselves any more specifically than
transgender,
queer, or
genderqueer.
Books and articles written about
transgender people or
culture are often outdated by the time they are published, if not already outdated at the time of composition, due to inappropriate and/or outdated questions or premises. Not only
psychology and
medicine, but also
social sciences deal with
transgender people, and each starts from a very different point of view, offers very different perspectives, and uses a different nomenclature. The difference is mirrored by the attitude of
transgender people towards
transgender issues, as can be seen in the articles listed below.
