Wikipedia: Transgender
Transgender people have a gender identity or gender expression that differs from their sex assigned at birth. Some transgender people who desire medical assistance to transition from one sex to another identify as transsexual. Transgender, often shortened as trans, is also an umbrella term. In addition to including people whose gender identity is the opposite of their assigned sex (trans men and trans women), it may include people who are not exclusively masculine or feminine (people who are non-binary or genderqueer, including bigender, pangender, genderfluid, or agender).

50 Cent Enrages People With Offensive ’Trans-Slender’ Meme Post!
Nick Markus APR 3, 2019 6:31 PM PDT
The rapper doesn’t care much about being politically correct when it comes to his humor and that is something people on social media really dislike about him. That being said, 50 Cent caused some outrage once again when he posted a joke about being ‘trans-slender,’ meaning someone who is ‘fat’ but ‘identifies’ as ‘skinny.‘
 
‘I’m fat, but I identify as skinny. I’m trans-slender,’ the meme he shared reads.
 
In the caption, he also wrote: ‘Gym time let’s go,’ clarifying that he feels like he needs to lose some weight.
 
Despite the joke seemingly being directed at himself, people still got very upset.
