Hi Leslie! This language guide is definitely not a detailed resource for gaining a full understanding of gender identity or trans or nonbinary experiences, but is merely meant to help people understand what we are saying when we use these terms. In this context, ‘gender’ is simplified to describe what gender means in our society. We moreso get to the “internal” experience when we define gender identity on the second page. Thank you for your insight and feedback!
Join MTPC as we build trans community power and work towards lived equity for all trans, nonbinary, and gender expansive children, youth, adults, elders, and families in MA.
I notice that your definition of ‘gender’ includes primarily external indicators with very little content on the internal experience.
