Transgender person
Rose Noble, a female-presenting, non-binary transgender person. (TV: The Star Beast [+]Loading...["The Star Beast (TV story)"])

Among humans, a transgender person was someone whose gender did not align with that which they were assigned at birth. Transgender was used as an adjective, often shortened to simply "trans".

Non-binary people were also or could also be trans. Calypso Jonze self-identified as trans and non-binary, (AUDIO: The Lovecraft Invasion [+]Loading...["The Lovecraft Invasion (audio story)"]) and used they/them pronouns. (AUDIO: The End of the Beginning [+]Loading...["The End of the Beginning (audio story)"])

Mickey Smith had a trans friend called Sally Salter, who was part of his Bad Wolf band. (PROSE: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (novelisation)"]) Jack Harkness once had a transgender co-worker, Vanessa, who changed her name, something that perplexed Jack. (TV: Greeks Bearing Gifts [+]Loading...["Greeks Bearing Gifts (TV story)"])

Eleanor Blake, an accomplished mathematician who met the Seventh Doctor and entered a brief romantic relationship with Chris Cwej, was a trans woman who lived through the 1940s. She went on to travel with Alpha Wheeler throughout space to escape the discrimination she faced on Earth. (AUDIO: The Jabari Countdown [+]Loading...["The Jabari Countdown (audio story)"])

Tania Bell was a trans woman who worked for Torchwood Three. She was a resident of 107 Baker Street. She later became a companion of the Eighth Doctor, as well as Liv Chenka's romantic partner, on 2020 Earth. (AUDIO: Must-See TV [+]Loading...["Must-See TV (audio story)"], Wild Animals [+]Loading...["Wild Animals (audio story)"], Dead Time [+]Loading...["Dead Time (audio story)"]) She was accustomed to other people "minding" that she was trans, (AUDIO: Wild Animals [+]Loading...["Wild Animals (audio story)"]) but understood that the identity one forged for oneself was truer than the "shot in the dark" that was birth assignment.

(AUDIO: The Jabari Countdown [+]Loading...["The Jabari Countdown (audio story)"]) In the mid-2000s, Sally had to cut ties with her family in order to begin living life as herself. She found affirmation with her friends and bandmates, together known as Bad Wolf, and a safe space in which to sleep at Mickey's one-bedroom flat. (PROSE: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (novelisation)"])

Donna Noble's child had originally been born male and given the name 'Jason', before eventually coming out as transgender and non-binary. (TV: The Star Beast [+]Loading...["The Star Beast (TV story)"], The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"]) Whilst transitioning to female, she choose the name of Rose for herself, based off subconscious memories of Rose Tyler she inherited from her mother's meta-crisis.

Earth takes its time on too many things, and [trans rights] is one of them. Not in this century, I'm afraid. Though the next one is... a little better.Seventh Doctor [The Jabari Countdown (audio story) [src]]

Though, according to the Seventh Doctor, circumstances would improve "a little" by the 21st century for trans people, Eleanor had to hide her identity in order to survive in the 1940s, due to the genocides occurring in that time. In fact, Eleanor faced violence and discrimination on account of her gender. She was surprised to find Chris Cwej so accepting, noting how he "didn't even blink", but held little hope for changes to come within her lifetime.

Coming as he did from the 30th century, Chris did not understand the fuss about assigned genders (as in that era, gender was not assigned at birth, but instead chosen at a special ceremony, which took place upon one's 16th birthday).
