 Reasons an [[AFAB]] individual may identify as transfem include but are not limited to identifying as a girl/woman in a trans way, feeling related to transwomanhood or transfemininity, identifying as a [[girlby]] or with other [[non-binary]] [[fiaspec|fiagenders]], such as being [[girlflux]] or a [[demigirl]]. This may overlap with [[Intragender (Modality)|intragender]] for some individuals.

 == Controversy ==
-AFAB Transfem is a controversial identity because it has been used by [[TERF|TERFs]]  to discredite transfeminine people through the psyop #biotrans, although there may be AFAB individuals who sincerely identify as transfeminine. Defenders of this identity argue that even if TERFs have used this term to try to invalidate  transfeminine individuals it doesn’t necessarily imply that AFAB individuals cannot use the label transfeminine in good faith.  TERFs regularly use the terms "[[man]]" or ''[[GNC|crossdresser]]'' in an attempt to mock [[AMAB]] transfems, but it wouldn't be a solid reason to  force people to stop using the term "man" or ''crossdresser'' for describing themselves.

 Supporters of afab transfems mantain the idea that no gender identity should be segregated based on a person's genitalia. Everyone should be able to identify with whatever they want regardless of their sex assigned at birth.
