As of November 2026, transgender has been mentioned in 3 episodes across 3 podcasts, first heard Nov 2025 on NPR. Podcasts discuss transgender issues in various contexts.

A transgender person has a gender identity different from that typically associated with the sex they were assigned at birth. The opposite of transgender is cisgender, which describes persons whose gender identity matches their assigned sex. Transgender does not have a universally accepted definition, including among researchers; it can function as an umbrella term. The definition given above includes binary trans men and trans women and may also include people who are non-binary or genderqueer.
