Adjective

transgendered (comparative more transgendered, superlative most transgendered)

(now, uncommon and often, offensive and proscribed) Transgender; denoting or relating to a person whose gender identity does not correspond with their sex assigned at birth.

Usage notes

• Historically, transgendered was common, both inside and outside the transgender community, until about 2000 (Julia Serano, trans writer, notes its use in "classic" trans-related books such as Kate Bornstein’s Gender Outlaw and Leslie Feinberg’s Trans Liberation, and compares it to the accepted term gendered), but the term transgender has become more common and is preferred by many transgender people. Although some still accept transgendered, several dictionaries, style guides and other authorities proscribe it, often comparing its use to the hypothetical use of lesbianed in place of lesbian.

Noun

transgendered (plural transgendereds)

(nonstandard, rare, offensive) A transgender person.
