Transformations: Transgender 101 continues with lesson on terminology

In my last column, we discussed the basic "Dos and Don'ts" regarding questions and topics of conversation that might come up when you meet someone who may (or may not) be transgender.

To my delight, many readers expressed a great deal of interest in the topic; so today, I'm going to take a moment to discuss a brief list of terminology that is commonly used and/or referred to in the transgender community.

Don't worry if you haven't heard of all of these terms before, because at one time, some of them were completely foreign to my own "trans-lexicon" as well!
