The effects of undernutrition depend on the length and severity of the period of hunger and may be mediated by other factors. Improved nutrition, increased environmental stimulation, emotional support, and secure attachment to parents/caregivers can compensate for early undernutrition.
A trans woman (sometimes trans-woman or transwoman) is a transgender person who was assigned male at birth but whose gender identity is that of a woman. The label of transgender woman is not always interchangeable with that of transsexual woman, although the two labels are often used in this manner.
Transgender, transsexual, transvestite. A transvestite is a person who dresses in a style or manner traditionally associated with the opposite sex. At the root of the word is the Latin vestire, meaning to dress. Transsexual means one who wishes to be considered by society as a member of the opposite biological sex. Some transsexuals undergo sex change operations, and some do not. Transgender is a more general term that includes transvestites, transsexuals, and anyone else who does not conform to typical gender roles.
