Simultaneously, a generational shift is altering the meaning of "transgender." Where trans identity was once seen as a narrow path (binary transition from male to female or vice versa), today’s young cohort embraces , genderfluid , and agender identities.

Conversely, younger non-binary people criticize binary trans folks for clinging to a "cisnormative" vision of gender. | | Spaces | Gay bars, Pride parades, community centers
