No, transgender is not a gender category per-se. Rather, it is a status that a person has (or doesn’t have) that describes whether or not there is a mismatch between their gender identity and their assigned birth sex. If a person is not trans, they are cis, although there can be some gray area of people who are not sure of whether or not they are cis or trans or people on the border of being trans for whom people with different definitions of “transgender” might not agree about whether or not they are trans.Is "transgender" a gender?
