More About Transgendered
Transgendered individuals include both male to female and female to male transgender individuals. Individuals that identify as transgender typically experience a disconnect between their physical sex, and the gender that they identify with. These feelings often lead to an individual undergoing a gender affirming surgery whereby their physical sex is altered to align with their gender identity.
