Transgender history in the United Kingdom

This article addresses the history of transgender people in the United Kingdom since its initial formation in 1707. For over three centuries, transgender people have been recognised in the UK by varying titles and cultural gender indicators, such as dress, and people living differently from their sex have contributed to various aspects of the history and culture of the country. Advances in medicine, social and biological sciences and transgender activism have all influenced transgender life in the UK today.
