Etymology
Template:Etymon The Template:Glossary sense is derived from Template:Prefix, modelled after Template:M[1] and probably modified from Template:M which was Template:Coinage (1915–1975) in 1965;[2][3][4] the terms transgender, Template:M, Template:M, Template:M, and similar terms arose in the decades after this.[4] By the 1990s, the word transgender had acquired its current senses, and had also largely displaced the earlier term transsexual: see the usage notes.[5]
The Template:Glossary and Template:Glossary senses are derived from the adjective.[1] Regarding noun Template:Senseno ("synonym of transgenderism"), compare Template:M.

Usage notes
- The word transgender became popular in the 1970s,[6][7] and by the 1990s it had largely displaced the older word Template:M.[5][8] (Transsexual is now often considered outdated,[7] although some people still prefer it; see Template:L for more. Neither term should be confused with Template:M; see further at that entry.) Transgender is an umbrella term, encompassing trans men and trans women, and often also encompassing nonbinary people;[9] using transgender to refer strictly to people with a binary gender identity might be considered offensive and exclusionary towards non-binary people.

Usage notes
- In Western countries, many transgender people consider the use of transgender (and similar adjectives) as a noun to be offensive, and several guides advise against such usage.[10][11][12][13] “A transgender man” (for a man who was assigned the female sex at birth) or “a transgender woman” (for the reverse) is frequently more appropriate.
