Although some still accept transgendered, dictionaries, style guides, and other authorities frequently proscribe it, often comparing its use to the hypothetical use of lesbianed in place of lesbian. === Noun === transgendered (plural transgendereds) (nonstandard, rare, now usually offensive) A transgender person. ==== Usage notes ==== See the usage notes at transgender regarding the use of this type of word as a noun. === Verb === transgendered simple past and past participle of transgender === Related terms === transgenderal transsexual === References === “transgendered”, in Dictionary.com Unabridged, Dictionary.com, LLC, 1995–present. “transgendered, adj. and n.”, in OED Online ⁠, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2021. “transgender, transgendered”, in Google Books Ngram Viewer.
