Transgender has two common definitions:
- Similar to transsexual, but without having had a sex-change operation.
- As a synonym for transsexual.
It is not to be confused with a whole host of "gender identities" (which liberals see as separate from biological sex) under the umbrella of genderqueer, which includes, besides transgender:
- Bigender (both man and woman)
- Agender (neither man nor woman)
- Genderfluid (alternating between genders)
- Third gender (found in Indian culture, some American Indian cultures, and also invented by modern-day people)
