Tg, in the context of gender, is an abbreviation for Transgender.
Transgender is an umbrella term for people whose gender identity is different from the sex that they were assigned at birth. This encompasses a wide range of identities and experiences.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Gender Identity: This is an individual's internal sense of being male, female, both, neither, or somewhere along the gender spectrum.
-
Sex Assigned at Birth: This is typically assigned based on external genitalia at birth (male or female).
-
Transgender Definition: A person whose gender identity differs from their sex assigned at birth.
Therefore, "Tg" is shorthand referring to individuals who identify as transgender. It's important to remember that transgender people are a diverse group, and not all transgender individuals will identify with or use the abbreviation "Tg." Always respect an individual's preferred terms and pronouns.
