#### Usage notes

* In the first two senses, "on the other side of", this prefix is usually attached directly to the word it modifies, or sometimes separated from it by a hyphen: transrhenane, trans-Neptunian.
* In the sex- or gender-related sense, this prefix is attached directly to certain words, most notably transgender and transsexual. In other cases, the related standalone adjective trans is used: hence one speaks of issues facing the trans community and trans rights (not *transrights), etc. In particular, it can sometimes be considered offensive to write transman or trans-man, the preferred spelling being trans man (trans man). Compare cis- and cis.
