Transmasculine

Transmasculine or trans-masc is a gender identity where one generally was assigned female at birth (AFAB), is transgender, and identifies fully or partially as any masculine genders. Transmasculine people can also identify as other, non-masculine genders as well. For example, an androgyne person may identify as transmasculine, though typically one's masculine identities are more significant that one's non-masculine identities, or one wants to emphasize one's masculine identity. Tranmasculine people are sometimes called FtM or F2M (female to male), however, this isn't accurate as not all transmasculine people are transgender men.

Some transmasculine identities can include:


 * Binary transgender men
 * Non-binary men
 * Demiboys
 * Genderfluid people who identify as masculine more often than other genders.
 * Solarians
 * Any other non-binary person who is masculine-aligned, or leans towards masculinity.

Transmasculine is sometimes used, not as a gender identity, but as a way to describe anyone who is assigned female at birth and undergoes masculinization, either through surgery, hormones replacement therapy, or other methods. Under this definition women who take testosterone to attempt to appear more masculine would be considered transmasculine.

The feminine equivalent to transmasculine is transfeminine and the neutral equivalent is transneutral. The AMAB is intramasculine.
