*’trans-gender people’ are people (too!) who have a ‘gender identity – or ‘gender expression’ – that differs from their ‘assigned sex’*
.
*trans-gender people’ are sometimes called trans-sexual if they desire ‘medical assistance’ to ‘transition’ from 1 ‘sex’ to another*
.
Transgender is also an umbrella term:
in addition to including people whose gender identity is the opposite of their assigned sex (trans men and trans women), it may include people who are not exclusively masculine or feminine
(people who are genderqueer, e.g. bigender, pangender, genderfluid, or agender)
.
Other definitions of transgender also include people who belong to a third gender, or conceptualize transgender people as a third gender.
Infrequently, the term transgender is defined very broadly to include cross-dressers, regardless of their gender identity.
Being transgender is independent of sexual orientation: transgender people may identify as heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, asexual, etc., or may consider conventional sexual orientation labels inadequate or inapplicable.
The term transgender can also be distinguished from intersex, a term that describes people born with physical sex characteristics “that do not fit typical binary notions of male or female bodies”.
The degree to which individuals feel genuine, authentic, and comfortable within their external appearance and accept their genuine identity has been called transgender congruence.
Many transgender people experience gender dysphoria, and some seek medical treatments such as hormone replacement therapy, sex reassignment surgery, or psychotherapy.
Not all transgender people desire these treatments, and some cannot undergo them for financial or medical reasons.
(most transgender people face discrimination at and in access to ‘work’, ‘public accommodations’, and ‘healthcare’)
(they are not legally protected from discrimination in many places)

“INTERSEX”
(“intersex” people are born with any of several variations in sex characteristics including chromosomes, gonads, sex hormones, or genitals that, according to the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights,
“do not fit the typical definitions for male or female bodies”
Such variations may involve genital ambiguity, and combinations of chromosomal genotype and sexual phenotype other than XY-male and XX-female.
Intersex people were previously referred to as hermaphrodites, “congenital eunuchs”, or even congenitally “frigid”.
Such terms have fallen out of favor; in particular, the term “hermaphrodite” is considered to be misleading, stigmatizing, and scientifically specious.
Medical description of intersex traits as disorders of sex development has been controversial since the label was introduced in 2006.
Intersex people may face stigmatization and discrimination from birth or discovery of an intersex trait.
In some countries, documented in parts of Africa and Asia, this may include infanticide, abandonment and the stigmatization of families.
Globally, some intersex infants and children, such as those with ambiguous outer genitalia, are surgically or hormonally altered to create more socially acceptable sex characteristics.
However, this is considered controversial, with no firm evidence of good outcomes.
Such treatments may involve sterilization.
Adults, including elite female athletes, have also been subjects of such treatment.
Increasingly these issues are considered human rights abuses, with statements from international and national human rights and ethics institutions.
Intersex organizations have also issued statements about human rights violations, including the Malta declaration of the third International Intersex Forum.
In 2011, Christiane Völling became the first intersex person known to have successfully sued for damages in a case brought for non-consensual surgical intervention.
In April 2015, Malta became the first country to outlaw non-consensual medical interventions to modify sex anatomy, including that of intersex people

(some ‘inter-sex persons’ may be ‘assigned’/’raised’ as a ‘girl’ or ‘boy’ but then identify with another ‘gender’ later in life, while most continue to identify with their ‘assigned sex’)
