Gender Beyond the Binary: Transgender Identity and the Struggle for Equality

Author(s) Dr. SANTHI B, Mrs. Sathiya Priya S
Country India
Abstract The word “transgender” or trans is an umbrella term for people whose gender identity is different from the sex assigned to us at birth. Although the word “transgender” and our modern definition of it only came into use in the late 20th century, people who would fit under this definition have existed in every culture throughout recorded history. A transgender person is someone whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. This means a person assigned male at birth might identify as female, and vice versa, or they might identify with a gender that is neither exclusively male nor female. It's important to understand that transgender identity is separate from sexual orientation; transgender people can be straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, or any other sexual orientation. In recent years, the topic of transgender individuals has gained significant social and cultural attention. Sociological research is progressively focusing on practices related to gender diversity. Ekins and King are preeminent global sociologists in this domain and have extensively explored it since the 1970s. Their research illustrates the rise of various interpretations of transgender phenomena regarding their connection to the binary gender divide in modern Euro-American societies, highlighting issues of conceptualization, theorization, identity, and social realms.
