In some societies, such as in India, transgender individuals may identify as a third gender—neither male nor female. Intersection with LGBTQ+ Culture

The transgender community is a diverse and essential part of the broader LGBTQ+ culture, comprising individuals whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth . While the "T" in LGBTQ stands together with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer communities, transgender identity is focused on gender expression and identity, rather than sexual orientation.

Issues often revolve around legal recognition, access to gender-affirming healthcare, and protection from violence and discrimination.
