Listen for the word.

Transgender.

Being transgender is like walking around silently crying unless you have an opportunity to express yourself.

Transgender is about how a person identifies his or her gender, being male or female.

Transgender people have a different gender identity than how they were born.

For example, a person born a man, may feel he is a woman.

Now, when you hear the word transgender you will know what this news word means.
