Before the widely known Stonewall riots, transgender individuals—particularly trans women of color—led early resistance against systemic harassment.
Being transgender means that a person's gender identity does not align with the sex they were assigned at birth. For example, a person who was assigned male at birth may identify as a woman, while a person assigned female at birth may identify as a man. Transgender individuals may choose to express their gender identity through their appearance, behavior, and other aspects of their lives.
