In the disabled community, Passing describes those with "invisible disabilities" who can pass for able-bodied: for example those with autism, hearing impairments or depression-spectrum illnesses, as compared with those who have facial disfigurements, motor impairments (cerebral palsy) or paraplegia.

Disabled persons who can pass are viewed as having advantages that those who don't pass do not have -- less discrimination and p ...

List of transgender-related topics: Encyclopedia II - Standards of care for gender identity disorders - Criticism of the HBIGDA-SOC

Numerous criticisms have been made against the HBIGDA-SOC over the course of its history, some of which have been reflected in later versions of the guidelines. Most of these criticisms are related to how stringent the requirements are, noting that the rate of post-surgical regret among transsexuals is generally very low - lower than that of many medically-necessary and many cosmetic procedures that do not have such stringent requirements. Particularly under fire have been the provisions related to the necessity of real-life experience (noti ...

List of transgender-related topics: Encyclopedia II - Gender identity disorder - Controversy

A lot of transgender people do not regard their cross-gender feelings and behaviours as a disorder. They question what a "normal" gender identity or a "normal" gender role is supposed to be; and sometimes even the very existence of a "normal" gender identity or gender role is examined and often rejected by parts of modern gender studies. They point out that not everybody who is born as male is stereotypically masculine, and that not everybody born as female is stereotypically feminine. Some people see "transgendering" as a means for deconstructing gender. However, not all transgender people ...

List of transgender-related topics: Encyclopedia II - Legal aspects of transsexualism - Americas

Legal aspects of transsexualism - United States.

Other courts (including courts in Kansas and New Jersey) have recognized the reassignments. Most U.S. states permit the name and sex to be ...

List of transgender-related topics: Encyclopedia II - Passing - Sex

Passing describes a transgender person's ability to be accepted as their preferred sex, to have an appearance that causes one to be assumed by strangers to be a cisgendered man (for transmen) or woman (for transwomen). The term refers primarily to acceptance by people the individual does not know, or who do not know that the individual is transgender.

List of transgender-related topics: Encyclopedia II - Standards of care for gender identity disorders - Other SOCs protocols and guidelines for the treatment of gender identity disorders

In some countries or areas, local standards of care exist, such as in the Netherlands, Germany or Italy. Also, some health care providers have their own set of SOCs which have to followed to have access to health care. The criticism about the HBIGDA-SOCs applies to these as well; some of these SOCs are based on much older versions of the HBIGDA-SOCs, or are entirely independent of them.

List of transgender-related topics: Encyclopedia II - Coming out - Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual LGB Usage

Some people who identify themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer, or who might prefer same-gender sexual activities or relationships, have engaged in heterosexual activities or have had long-term heterosexual relationships, including up to marriage. (Well known examples include Elton John and the late Leslie Cheung.) Such apparently "heterosexual" behavior by people who would otherwise consider themselves gay or lesbian has often been part of being "in the closet", to create an illusion for acceptance by heterosexual surroundings. (They are to be distingui ...
