	Amazon.com: Books: Gender Diversity: Crosscultural Variations
		She rightly concludes that "the evidence argues against any one-way, cause-and-effect relationship between homosexuality and sex/gender diversity, and a specific sexuality may well emerge from a sex/gender variant role, rather than the reverse...the association between sexuality and sex/gender diversity cannot be assumed, but rather must be examined within specific cultural/historical contexts" (Nanda 2000, 101-02).
		This may be the first cross-cultural survey of gender diversity to describe "the trees" in such a balanced and objective way that the reader may see and understand "the forest." Anyone interested in the deeper, changeable nature of human sexuality will find this book to be both provocative and illuminating.
		By presenting gender variations historically and as they are currently understood and displayed, Nanda reveals the social, historical and cultural forces that have created changes in these sex/gender systems.

	Gender Identity Disorder Reform
		GID currently includes a broad array of gender variant adults and children who may or may not be transsexual and may or may not be distressed or impaired.
		The result is that a widening segment of gender non-conforming youth and adults are potentially subject to diagnosis of psychosexual disorder, stigma and loss of civil liberty.

	The Gender Gap in Political Behaviour
		Gender differences in voting have been examined in concert with a variety of other factors such as socioeconomic status, age and ethnicity, although not always in a very systematic fashion.
		A significant issue in gender gap analysis is whether the many sex differences in attitudes to key social and economic issues account for a least some of the differences in voting between men and women.
		The strongest and most consistent gender gap across both elections was that women were far more likely to say that they did not know which of the two major parties best represented their views.

	Understanding sex gender diversity amnesty international gay games
		Only by sex and gender diverse people coming out of the closet and contributing towards their own fight for equality can the rest of the world see that is just another part of the human equation to be sex and gender variant.
		Sex and gender diverse people are often unable to change their birth certificates when at a later time in their life they discover that they do not transpire to be the sex or gender they may have been assigned at birth.
		Since sex and gender people will always be a minority, it is important for those who can be the eagle eyes of equality to stand at their posts of vigilance and be the guardians for sex and gender freedom for all.

	Carata
		"Gender dysphoric" Christian theologians, not comprehending sexual and gender diversity, would be incapable of making a connection that is at once obvious to a gender variant.
		Carata, a name on the grave markers, has no known place in the history of Montanism.
		From fragmentary accounts, we offer a probable answer to the mystery of Montanus/Carata, identified by Jerome as a semivir (half-man/half-woman) and abscissus (cut one) and described by several writers on religious history as a former priest(ess) of Cybele.

		Lehne was instrumental in educating Tuerk and Menvielle on the concerns of parents, who may feel distress and confusion about their children's atypical gender interests.
		But in 1987, psychiatrist Richard Green, MD, published a seminal study later corroborated by other researchers that found that extreme boyhood gender nonconformity was associated with a homosexual or bisexual identity in adulthood--neither of which are disorders.

	Homosexuality and transgender - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Therefore, gender variant people were accepted more as homosexuals who behaved in a gender-variant way than as gender-variant people in their own right.
		Homosexuality usually refers to the aesthetic, romantic, and/or sexual attraction felt exclusively for another person of the same gender, while transgender is a matter of gender identity, meaning that a person identifies as a different gender than the one they were assigned in life, or it can refer to one who idenitfies with neither gender.
		Transgender people were not featured at all in the coining of the term, they were in fact not even regarded as a distinctive group.

	Transgender Day of Remembrance: Text of one of the Speeches : LA IMC
		Even those who do on the surface appear not to transgress the gender rules still struggle against a severe, unyielding, arbitrary, and inhumane system as much as the most gender-bent, flamboyant, butch, effeminate, gender-variant, gender-defying person.
		I think that's something that genderqueer, trans, and gender-gifted people, all of us, can and do bring to the world, a message of freedom and liberation for all individuals, in every aspect of life, not just gender.
		I also appreciated when those who spoke made sure to include in their speech genderqueer, gender fluid, and other gender-gifted people, as part of the wider gender community, including those who many not identify as trans.

		Feinberg distinctly made the point that these categories do not represent everyone — they are limiting and serve to marginalize gender variant individuals.
		Feinberg, and other gender-variant individuals carry on this tradition by resisting the majority of society who would have everyone fit neatly into “M” or “F” categories.
		Feinberg asked people to come together to resist such discrimination in “the spirit of Stonewall.” Stonewall was a riot in 1969 in New York, where transgender, cross-dressing, gay, homeless, and otherwise marginalized individuals banded together to resist and react to ongoing police brutality.

	The Reporter -- Inclusive toilets
		Transgendered and gender variant individuals often experience harassment and violence in washrooms when it is thought they are using the wrong one, explained Hersey.
		A student initiative for a barrier-free washroom intends to change this, with plans to build a single-unit, wheelchair-accessible, gender-neutral washroom on the first floor of the student union building, also known as the Shatner Building.
		"Gender-neutral washrooms are a really important first step for the institution to recognize the very difficult issues that trans people face." Brotman is also a member of the McGill Equity Sub-committee on Queer People, which was formed three years ago to address homophobia and transphobia on campus and in course curricula.

	Transsexualism [ Part I ]
		Furthermore, many established religions have strict taboos against any form of gender variant behavior, and in their official doctrines, teachings and practices they often demonize, ridicule and persecute gender variant people.
		Transgenderism and transsexualism are often mixed up with the other more common conditions involving cross-gender behaviors or appearances.
		With the emergence of the web and the widespread availability of electronic information of transgenderism and transsexualism, many TG people now bypass the gay drag clubs and heterosexual male crossdressing scenes for their first gender explorations.

	Toilet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Additionally, some public places (such as facilities targeted to the transgendered or homosexual communities, and a few universities and offices) provide individual washrooms that are not gender-specified, specifically in order to respond to the concerns of gender-variant people; but this remains very rare and often controversial.
		Transgender people have been arrested for using not only bathrooms that correspond to their gender of identification, but also ones that correspond to the gender they were assigned at birth.
		A significant number of facilities have additional gender-neutral public toilets for a different reason-- they are marked not for being for females or males, but for handicapped persons, and are adequately equipped to allow those in wheelchairs to use them.

		BIGENDERED: having two genders, exihibiting cultural characteristics of male and female roles; alternating between masculine and feminine roles (see ambiguous gender, epicene, variant expressive, androgyne, omnigendered, gender variant, polygendered, inner sex, pandgendered) "We all possess both maculine and feminine characteristics in our body.
		BAIT: an effeminate gay man or butch lesbian who acts as a look out and lures police away from same-sex activity, presumably because of the assumption that an effeminate man or butch woman will excite suspicion and hence be able to decoy the police (cf fribble, gender police)
		Further, I object to the word itself, with its implication of 'trans' meaning 'to pass through', which implies that there are only two genders and that a person must adhere to one or the other without ambiguity.
