Transgender Resources
Problem |
Correction |
Reason |
| "Transgendered" (Adjective) | Transgender | Only adjective that are derived from nouns and/or verbs (unlike trangender) end in "ed" |
| "Intersexed" | Intersex | Only adjective that are derived from nouns and/or verbs (unlike intersex) end in "ed" |
| "Transgendered" (Verb) | Transition | Only verbs can have "ed" added onto the end of the word to become a participle. Trasgender is an adjective, no a verb. One does not "transgender," they transition |
| "A Transgender," "Tansgenders" | A Transgender Person, Transgender People | Transgender is not a noun, "Jake is a transgender" is not only grammatically incorrect, but can be offensive. |
| "Sex Change," "Sex Reassignment Surgery," "Gender Reassignment Surgery" | Gender Affirming Surgery, Genital Reconstruction Surgery, Genital Reassignment Surgery | Surgery does not change one's sex or gender, only genitalia. |
