Abstract
In their responses to our paper 'Conceptualizing transgender experiences in psychology: Do we have a "true" gender?' (The British Journal of Psychology, 2024, 115, 723), Tate (2025) and Morgenroth (2025) provide reflections on the importance of nuance when researching gender and in transgender advocacy. In this reply, I note where this paper is situated in the literature and engage in a discussion of the role of definitions in transgender advocacy. Over-reliance on an individual's true gender when evaluating transgender people's legitimacy may exclude individuals whose gender is not understandable as 'true' to a cisgender majority. I suggest that a broad definition of transgender can allow legitimization to arise from transgender identification and gender self-categorization alongside broader experiences of body and gender.
在他们对我们的论文《心理学中跨性别体验的概念化：我们有一个“真正的”性别吗？》（The British Journal of Psychology, 2024, 115, 723）， Tate（2025）和Morgenroth（2025）对研究性别和跨性别倡导时细微差别的重要性进行了反思。在这篇回复中，我注意到这篇论文在文献中的位置，并参与了定义在跨性别倡导中的作用的讨论。在评估跨性别者的合法性时，过度依赖个人的真实性别可能会将那些性别对大多数顺性别者来说不能被理解为“真实”的人排除在外。我认为，对跨性别者的广义定义可以使跨性别者的身份认同和性别自我分类合法化，以及对身体和性别的更广泛的体验。
