Word Nuance & Usage

In contemporary usage, the uninflected adjective 'transgender' is strongly preferred over 'transgendered'. Style guides and LGBTQ+ advocacy groups advise against 'transgendered' because the '-ed' suffix can mistakenly imply that a person has undergone an external action or condition rather than possessing an inherent gender identity.
