This is a topic I've been following. The Webster definition states:
Transgender adjective trans·gen·der \-ˈjen-dər\
Definition of transgender
1. : of, relating to, or being a person (as a transsexual or transvestite) who identifies with or expresses a gender identity that differs from the one which corresponds to the person's sex at birth
trans·gen·der·ism \-ˌi-zəm\ noun
"T" has been the most common abbrev. cited. The definition makes no difference as to whether a transition is in progress, complete, or contemplated; it's how the individual identifies themselves.
I believe all discussions on this topic, need to be how the individual identifies themselves, not how they may be perceived.
Sorry, it's a hot topic for me…had to add my 2 cents worth.

Subject: Re: LAST CALL FOR AGENDA ITEMS: Spring MACRAO Meeting - March 31 - April 1
We (at MSU) are dealing with some demands from the Queer Straight Alliance. QSA is asking for the ability to record gender (with multiple options) as opposed to sex (male, female, null) and the opportunity to use a preferred name for people going through gender transition. Wondering if others are doing the same, have done this, what they have found.
Interested in a discussion on this. Perhaps we could share the status of what we are doing and open the floor for conversations.
