<!--... Attention: THIS IS AN OUTLINE

'''[[Transgender]]''' is a very complex topic, where definitions are often still up in the air. Usually, the only way to find out how exactly [[person|people]] identify themselves is to ask them, and sometimes, [[transgender]] people either cannot or will not define themselves any more specifically than ''[[transgender]]'', ''[[queer]]'', or ''[[genderqueer]]''.

part of the set of 830+ outlines listed at

Books and articles written about [[transgender]] people or [[culture]] are often outdated by the time they are published, if not already outdated at the time of composition, due to inappropriate and/or outdated questions or premises.

[[Wikipedia:Contents/Outlines]].

Not only [[psychology]] and [[medicine]], but also [[social science]]s deal with [[transgender]] people, and each starts from a very different point of view, offers very different perspectives, and uses a different nomenclature. The difference is mirrored by the attitude of [[transgender]]ed people towards [[transgender]] issues, as can be seen in the articles listed below.

Wikipedia outlines are

The following [[Outline (list)|outline]] is provided as an overview of and topical guide to transgender topics.

The term "[[transgender]]" is multi-faceted and complex, especially where consensual and precise definitions have not yet been reached. While often the best way to find out how [[person|people]] identify themselves is to ask them, not all persons who might be thought of as falling under the transgender 'umbrella' identify as such.<ref>{{cite book|editor1=Sally Hines|editor2=Tam Sanger|date=2010|title=Transgender Identities: Towards a Social Analysis of Gender Diversity|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UrVB2H5jDswC|isbn=978-0-415-99930-4|publisher=Routledge|page=50}}</ref> ''Transgender'' can also be distinguished from ''[[intersex]]'', a term for people born with physical sex characteristics "that do not fit typical binary notions of [[male]] or [[female]] bodies".<ref name="unfe-fact">{{Cite web| author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> | publisher = United Nations [[Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights]] | title = Free & Equal Campaign Fact Sheet: Intersex| date = 2015| url = https://unfe.org/system/unfe-65-Intersex_Factsheet_ENGLISH.pdf | access-date = June 8, 2016 }}</ref>
