Well if you are looking for the right pronoun to use when addressing a transgender individual you use the word hir it is combination of the words her and him. It is a word that has been adopted by the trans-community in recent years because in western cultures(america and europe) there haven't perviously been any pronouns to represents trans-individuals. There aren't really any words to represent a person that identify as genderless either.

Gender is a social construct, the most popular are "Male" "Female" but nowadays, there's a whole rainbow and gradient of Gender.
Gender to me is just the role you play. Andro has somewhat become a 'gender' if you think of it hard enough, they play to the role of both of the popular M and F equally, or are playing it freely, despite the usual binaries that surround M and F.
Though there is a pronoun change, those who have transitioned or going through transitioning into male prefer "him and he" and those into female "she, her".
Its their decision really.
I know someone who is transitioning doesn't mind it when I slip and say 'her' or 'she' they prefer 'him' or 'he' which I try my best to stick to and am getting better. They take it as a tease factor and tease me relentlessly with it, considering they know I haven't figured out my orientation.
"shades of Gray" is boring.
Different Tones is so much more colorful. *head desks at the color gradient she's working on*

le chevalier etoile I just feel the need to stress, on behalf of my community. . . Taeryyn If you are a male-to-female transsexual, then you are female. If you are a female-to-male transsexual, then you are male. Or you may identify as both or neither. Winner. I call this guy a my school a she because he is Male to Female trans. I am just doing what i think is respectable towards him..

A lot of people here have pretty much summarized or have already said what I was going to say.
A person identifies themselves as what gender they best feel is associated with them rather than their biological sex. That person's sex only determines what comes up between their thighs, while their gender determines a whole new array of possibilities. I being a male-to-female transgendered individual would know this very well as I'm still in the beginning stages of my transition. I already know that what I want is to be a beautiful woman in the future, albeit one with a p***s, but that's irrelevant.

Their gender is the phenotype they desire.

Splendid Venus Well if you are looking for the right pronoun to use when addressing a transgender individual you use the word hir it is combination of the words her and him. I think that's pretty rude- but that's largely because identifying pronouns should be the person's preference imo.

Hir is for people that don't identify as one or the other and those that do identify as he or she will typical make their preference known if you're around them long enough. Some transgender individuals have flexible genders they are male one day female the next. It changes often.

I don't like being lumped under the concept of Transgendered just because I'm not binary- so when people speak about Transgendered people I think of binary gendered people who are working to overcome what they were assigned at birth instead of 3rd gendered and non-gendered people.

I've only ever heard about that as gender fluid- and I still think it's presumptuous to assume to call someone hir just because they're not binary. When in doubt, an honest asking works best.

I was simply going off information that was given by other transgender individuals at a lecture at my college and what my transgender friends have told me. But i still ask them what pronoun they prefer and some of them want to be referred to as hir. But if you don't like the term hir then take it up with the transgender community because i didn't come up with it.

But if you don't like the term hir then take it up with the transgender community because i didn't come up with it. My point is that a group within the Transgendered community doesn't get to dictate to everyone what they will be called- I still get pissed off that I'm considered Trans even though I'm not transitioning to anything from anything. It's like saying that because the Music Industry uses the term ****** then all Blacks can and should be called that- it's presumptuous, arrogant and disrespectful to treat us like some kind of sheep instead of individuals. That comes across as harsher than I want it to- and I'm sorry about that. Please understand that this isn't an attack on you- or your friends, but "my X friend says this- therefore I call people what they said" is a major tool of cross-marginalization- it hurts people more than it helps.

sheesh. all you people put so much thought into all of this. makes me feel pretty slack-ish sweatdrop anyways, i never really thought about it cuz i think you are whatever you want to be. i dont care if you wanna be a girl one day and a guy the next, or 'woman in a mans body' or vice versa. like i said in another thread. i dont really like all these terms and dont feel there should be so many. every person is equal. i dont feel a need for all these terms, i think its just something created by strait society as a way to 'handle' us.
EDIT: i just relized that some of that can be viewed as offensive, so my apologies if i offended anyone
