transper

Transper is a term that has emerged in contemporary discussions, particularly online, to describe individuals who identify as transgender and also as a person. This phrasing aims to emphasize the personhood of transgender individuals, asserting that their gender identity is a facet of who they are, rather than their sole defining characteristic. The use of "transper" can be seen as a deliberate choice to reclaim language and challenge the tendency to reduce transgender people to only their transgender status. It highlights the understanding that transgender individuals have diverse personalities, interests, and life experiences, just like any other person. The term is often used within transgender communities and their allies as a more inclusive and respectful way to refer to transgender individuals. It seeks to promote a more nuanced understanding of gender identity by positioning it as an integral part of a whole person. The adoption of "transper" is part of a broader effort to foster greater acceptance and reduce stigma by affirming the full humanity of transgender people.
