The term transgender was coined by John Oliven (1965) and popularized by various transgender people who pioneered the concept and practice of transgenderism.

The term 'transgender' is a word employed by activists to encompass as many groups of gender diverse people as possible. However, many of these groups individually don't identify with the term. Many health clinics and services set up to serve gender variant communities employ the term, however most of the people using these services again don't identify with this term. The rejection of this political category by those that it is designed to cover clearly illustrates the difference between self-identification and categories that are imposed by observers to understand other people."]</ref> Όταν ένα άτομο εκφράζει την επιθυμία του να ζήσει και να είναι αποδεκτό σαν μέλος του ταυτιζόμενου φύλου του,<ref name="icd-10">{{cite web
