Transgender 101

It is a widely held social belief that gender is a binary concept and that there are only two sexes: male and female. Although most individuals strongly identify as either male or female throughout their lives, some don't identify as either, some identify as both or more than two genders, and others move from one gender to another in the way they identify, present, or express themselves.
