It is important to acknowledge that a person's gender identity may differ from the sex they were assigned at birth, and this can lead them to identify as trans. This can include binary trans individuals, nonbinary individuals, and those who are gender non-conforming and trans. Transphobia arises from a refusal to accept trans individuals and their identity as real and valid. It can take various forms and can be directed towards trans people, nonbinary individuals, and/or gender non-conforming individuals, leading to both direct and indirect discrimination.
