The most obvious answer to the question “what should you call a trans person?” is “their name, silly”. Just as with anyone, it’s common courtesy to call someone by their name.Īnd someone’s name is what they choose to call themselves. With trans people that can often be different to their birth name. Transexual? Transvestite? Transgender? What’s the right word? What you shouldn’t do is call someone by their birth name (or deadname) if they’ve chosen to change it.ĭeadnaming someone without their consent is not only disrespectful, but can often dox a person (make public otherwise private info about someone), or misgender them (get their gender wrong). If you’re going to talk about trans issues though, you do need to know what terminology to use, and copping out and using “trans” every time isn’t really going to cut it. Of course, these things are never set in stone, and they change depending on time, place, context and on who you’re talking to. Just think about all the different words for “gay”, and how they flip from “totally acceptable” to “massively offensive and inappropriate” depending on who’s saying it, when, and to whom.Īgain, the most important rule is to listen to trans people and when or if they tell you they don’t like to be referred to in a certain way, or with a specific word, then stop doing it. Even if your other trans friends are fine with it. It’s not “PC gone mad”, it’s just being a polite and pleasant member of society. That said, there are general shifts and collective agreement on which words to use today, and what they mean, so here we go. In the UK and US, in 2018, the most commonly accepted terminology for trans people is transgender.Ī transgender person is one whose gender identity does not correspond to the sex they were assigned at birth. So if someone is assigned as male or female when they are born, but they identify as the other, or as neither (agender), both (bigender or genderfluid), or other (genderqueer, pangender), then they can fall under the trangender umbrella.

So you wouldn’t say someone is “a transgender”, but instead “a transgender person”. Likewise, the medical term “transgenderism” is often considered offensive today. Transsexual is a term that has fallen out of favour among most trans people.

It used to mean transgender people who have, or want to, use medical intervention – hormones or surgery – to permanently transition from the gender assigned at birth to the one they identify as. Many trans people reject the word, some because having that word “sex” in the middle of it may suggest that being trans is all about sexuality, rather than gender identity.

Some trans people are happy to be called “transsexual”. But it’s best to stick to the latter unless they tell you otherwise. Are intersex people transgender?Īn intersex person is one who is born with a reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn’t seem to fit the typical definitions of female or male.Īn intersex person can be trans or identify as part of the trans community, but the vast majority aren’t. Transgender and intersex people can often face similar issues and discrimination, but they also face different types, too, and it’s important not to confuse or conflate them.
