Individuals who are 变性人和变性人不要认同他们出生时的性别和/或性别结构。变性人会感觉到自己内心对自己生活的概念之间的脱节性别与性别角色什么是通常被定义为“**化”(typically defined as being "feminine.")？

Some transgender people's sense of difference is so strong that they identify as transsexual and believe their assigned sex at birth was wrong and that their correct sex is one that aligns with their internal feelings. They often have a deep desire to alter their physical appearance until it better matches their gender identity; two common methods of doing this include 变性治疗和/或外科手术.

一般来说，变性是一个总括性术语，可以包括变性人，以及其他相关的术语，如易装癖。

变性人(transgender)和变性人？(transsexual?)的区别

其中一个更为深思熟虑和细致入微的解释是由Julia Serano写的，她是《鞭打女孩：关于性别歧视和**化的替罪羊的变性女人》一书的作者：

The word transgender historically (as well as within the context of this essay) refers to people who defy societal expectati*** regarding gender. Trans activists of the 1990s who championed the term left it purposely open-ended — it may refer to transsexuals (i.e., people who transition, who I’ll get to in a minute), people who identify outside of the gender binary, crossdressers (i.e., people who identify with their birth-assigned gender, but sometimes dress and/or express themselves as the other gender), people whose gender expression is non-conforming (e.g., feminine men, masculine women, people who are androgynous, etc.), and possibly others. Not everyone who falls under this umbrella will self-identify as “transgender,” but are all viewed by society as defying gender norms in some significant way.

Unfortunately, in mainstream discussi*** (as well as within certain segments of the trans community), the word “transgender” is increasingly (mis)used to specifically refer to people who identify and live as members of the gender other than the one they were assigned at birth — that is, people who have historically been described as transsexual. Some people who fall under this category don’t like the label “transsexual” (just as some don’t like “transgender”), but I will be using it here because the distinction between people who socially and/or physically transition (i.e., transsexuals), and those transgender-spectrum individuals who don’t transition, is germane to this conversation.

性取向差异

各种变性人，包括变性人，可以是男***、女***、双性恋或无性恋。性取向与性别认同无关。变性人如果因为自身的转变而从对“同一”性别感兴趣变成了对“**”感兴趣，或者反之亦然，那么接受变性手术的变性人可能会被认为有取向改变。

在下面的视频中，一位变性**清楚地解释了变性人、变性人、变装皇后、变装王和易装癖的术语：

类别

变性人的定义非常模糊，可能会分为交叉的类别，如变装者/易装癖者（有些人认为这是一个过时的术语），雌雄同体和性别***者。

变性的条件是非常明确的，可以诊断医学。如果一个人急于改变自己的外表，就可以得到医疗帮助。

社区或符号

变性人社区的象征是骄傲的旗帜，由粉红色和蓝色横条组成的两端，象征着过渡。对变性人来说，另一个象征是象征蜕变的蝴蝶。然而，变性人并没有单独的标志。

医疗干预

一些变性人选择医疗干预来改变他们的外表。那些属于变性人群体中变性人的人更有可能选择这样的改变。激素替代疗法（HRT）可用于跨**和跨**，分别促进**和**的属性。

外科手术也可用于切除卵巢、输卵管、子宫，并对胸部和***进行适当的改变。同样，在变性**中，面部、喉咙、胸部、腰部、臀部和***也会有适当的改变，同时也会有多余的毛发脱落。

法律方面

根据个人所在州或居住国的不同，只有在个人被诊断出患有表明痛苦的性别认同障碍（GIS）的情况下，才允许进行合法的姓名变更或性别变更。在进行这些法律变更之前，可能需要医生出具确认诊断的信函。一些司法管辖区要求在正式文件上允许性别变更之前进行全面的手术调任，而另一些司法管辖区则没有那么严格的规定。有些人不允许在任何时候更改法律文件。

变性人接受手术后可能面临工作歧视和医疗保险问题。

非二元性别

有些人不认同**或**；他们认为两种性别都不适合自己。在2016年6月的一项历史性法律裁决中，俄勒冈州的一名法官批准了一项**书，允许一个人在法律上既不选择性别，也不被归类为非二元性。

礼仪

与变性人交谈的礼仪与与与***谈的礼仪其实没有什么不同。小说家T。库珀提供了以下建议：

• 不要问变性人他们的私处。
• 不要夸奖他们“真实”或“正常”。
• 不要问他们可能做过的手术或可能服用的激素。
• Do not presume their sexual orientation. Transgender people do not identify with the gender identity assigned to them at birth. That is orthogonal to their sexual orientation i.e., the gender that they are attracted to. Trans people can be gay, straight, asexual, bisexual, pansexual, really into gym socks -- basically any sexuality a nontrans person can express.

宗教观点

不同的宗教对变性人和变性人有自己的看法，并不是所有的宗教都对这个群体持宽容态度。在宗教文本中，这两个词没有明确的区别，尽管大多数宗教都谴责跨文化行为，但有些文化和传统促进了世界某些地区的接受，尽管有宗教信仰。
