What is Transgender or Trans

Chapter 3
Voicing Diverse Teaching Experiences, Approaches, and Perspectives in Higher Education
A term that typically describes those who do not identify with the gender assigned to them at birth. Trans people often transition in some way—medically, hormonally, and/or in name and pronouns—to better align with their innate sense of gender identity.

Abstract
This chapter is a reflection on teaching as a trans person and as a cartoonist. It focuses largely on two pedagogical practices: coming out and using drawing in the non-art classroom. Both are embodied acts that involve risk-taking and invite trust. They offer the possibility of community-building radical self-actualization in the classroom. The chapter considers how a trans identity underscores a visceral experience of transformation that can inform the kind of radical transformation that is needed in higher education.
