Morphology

transgendered = transgender (transparent) = trans + gender + ed

Formed by adding the regular adjectival/participial suffix '-ed' to 'transgender', yielding a predictable meaning 'having undergone a change of gender' (usage is now considered dated).

Etymology

Transgendered has three parts: trans- meaning 'across', as in transport, gender meaning 'sex or identity', and the ending -ed which shows a change that has happened. So it once described someone who moved 'across' from one gender to another, but this adjective is now considered outdated and many people prefer transgender.
