Afabris is an altersex term used to describe someone who is AFAB who desires removal of their breasts (top surgery) but do not desire any alteration to their genitals.[1] They may have any gender identity (transgender, cisgender, non-binary, anonbinary, etc.) and the reasoning behind their altersex identity may vary.
Reason why one may be afabris includes but is not limited to:
- An individual that has body disconnect, dysphoria, and/or dysmorphia, but only towards their breasts.
- An individual that is multigender and one of their genders is similar to their assigned birth gender, which causes only partial dysphoria.
- An individual that desires a medical transition, however they also desire to carry biological children, which causes mixed emotions towards the idea of bottom surgery.
- An individual that has sexual trauma that relates to their breasts, causing one to desire a removal.
Counterparts to this term include amabris, AFAB-P, and AMAB-V.
