Transgender people are people who have a gender identity or gender expression that differs from their assigned sex.

Transgender people are sometimes called transsexual if they desire medical assistance to transition from one sex to another.

Transgender is also an umbrella term: in addition to including people whose gender identity is the opposite of their assigned sex (trans men and trans women), it may include people who are not exclusively masculine or feminine (people who are genderqueer, e.g. bigender, pangender, genderfluid, or agender).

Other definitions of transgender also include people who belong to a third gender, or conceptualize transgender people as a third gender.

Infrequently, the term transgender is defined very broadly to include cross-dressers, regardless of their gender identity.

Civil and political rights are a class of rights that protect individuals' freedom from infringement by governments, social organizations, and private individuals.

They ensure one's ability to participate in the civil and political life of the society and state without discrimination or repression.

Bisexuality is romantic attraction, sexual attraction, or sexual behavior toward both males and females, or romantic or sexual attraction to people of any sex or gender identity; this latter aspect is sometimes alternatively termed pansexuality.

A lesbian is a female homosexual: a female who experiences romantic love or sexual attraction to other females.

The term lesbian is also used to express sexual identity or sexual behavior regardless of sexual orientation, or as an adjective to characterize or associate nouns with female homosexuality or same-sex attraction.
