Ashtime is a term used in Maale culture that describes an AMAB individual who dresses as a woman, performs feminine tasks, cares for their own houses, and apparently had sexual relations with men.[1][2] This could be homosexual/homoromantic men, transgender women who are attracted to men, transfeminine toric non-binary individuals, or similar identities.
