Gay Weddings are Good for Business

Gay Wedding Glossary

Transgender: An umbrella term for people whose gender identity and/or gender expression differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. Transgender people may or may not decide to transition their bodies to the opposite gender through hormonally and/or Sex Reassignment Surgery.  Some transgender individuals were born male and are now female.  Some were born female and are now male.  Some will marry women and some will marry men.  Transgender is the T in LGBT.

It is always important to treat transgender clients as the gender they identify with, even if they are not necessarily passable in that new gender.  The process of transition is a long and difficult one but a journey that you must respect.

If you have any transgender clients, or if your clients have friends who are transgender, you may be asked to create gender neutral restroom signs.
