An '''AFAB transfem''' or '''AFAB transfeminine''' individual refers to someone who was [[Assigned Gender|assigned]] [[female]] at birth and identifies as a [[transgender]] [[woman]] or [[transfeminine]]. The term also refers to a person who identifies as transfeminine and has self-assigned themsleves AFAB.
Reasons an [[AFAB]] individual may identify as transfem include but are not limited to identifying as a girl
One large reason for an [[AFAB]] individual to identify as transfem is if that individual is [[intersex]]. Intersex individuals may be assigned a gender at birth, but be born with a hormonal imbalance, or other condition that requires them to receive [[gender affirming care]]. Due to receiving gender affirming care, which includes but is not limited to [[hormone replacement therapy]] and gender reassignment surgery, the individual may identify more with the trans community, as well as the intersex community and broader lgbtqia+ community
