'''Transfeminine''', or '''transfem''' is an [[umbrella term]] used to describe [[transgender]] people who identify with a [[feminine]] [[gender identity]] to a greater extent than with a [[masculine]] gender identity. Another definition refers to transgender people who typically were assigned male at birth and whose [[genders]] are mainly or completely feminine. Usually transfeminine people try to appear stereotypically feminine in terms in their [[gender expression]] in order to create social recognition of their dominant feminine identity.This includes [[trans]] [[women]], whose gender is in some way feminine. Some transfem individuals may be [[apollafem]].
'''Transfeminine''', or '''transfem''', is an umbrella term for individuals whose gender is partially or fully [[feminine]], and does not correspond with their birth sex/[[AGAB]], or otherwise conform to conventional notions of sex and gender<ref>https://www.oed.com/viewdictionaryentry/Entry/247649</ref>. This includes [[Transgender|trans]] [[Female|women]], whose gender is in some way feminine. Some transfem individuals may be [[apollafem]].
Transfeminine individuals can also identify as other, non-feminine genders as well. For example, an [[androgyne]] individual may identify as transfeminine, though typically one's feminine identities are more significant that one's non-feminine identities, or one wants to emphasize their feminine identity. Transfeminine individuals are sometimes called MtF or M2F (male to female) (however, this isn't always accurate as not all transfeminine individuals are [[binary]] trans women), some prefer [[FtF]] or F2F.

Transfeminine individuals are typically AMAB, though they may also possibly be [[AXAB]] or [[UAB]]. An [[AFAB]] individual may also identify as Transfeminine if their assigned gender or sex is not the same as their gender identity. A simple example of this is an AFAB who identifies as a [[Demigirl]]. However a [[Afab transfem|Transfeminine AFAB]] may also identify as [[intrafeminine]] and/or [[Adgender|adfeminine]].
Transfeminine is sometimes used, not as a gender identity, but as a way to describe anyone who is assigned male at birth and undergoes femininization, either through surgery, [[Hormone Replacement Therapy|hormone replacement therapy]], or other methods. Under this definition men who take hormones to attempt to appear more feminine would be considered transfeminine.
The [[masculine]] equivalent to transfeminine is [[transmasculine]]. The [[neutral]] equivalent is [[transneutral]]. The [[androgynous]] equivalent is [[transandrogynous]]. The [[xenine]] equivalent is [[transxenine]]. The [[aporine]] equivalent is [[transaporine]]. The [[outherine]] equivalent is [[transoutherine]].
== Examples ==
Some examples of genders that transfeminine individuals may identify as include:
* [[Binary Genders|Binary]] transgender [[Woman|women]]
* [[Non-Binary Woman|Non-binary women]]
* [[Demigirl|Demigirls]]s
* [[Genderfluid]] individuals who identify as feminine more often than other genders.
* [[Juxera|Juxeras]]s
* [[Lunarian|Lunarians]]s
* [[Lunettian|Lunettians]]s
* [[Venusian|Venusians]]s
* Any other [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] individual who is [[fingender|feminine-aligned]], [[fiaspec|woman-aligned]], or [[Gender Alignment|leans]] towards femininity.
==Debate on this label==
There is very much debate on this label on who can use it and who can’t.
Some have said [[dyadic]] people who were [[AFAB]] can’t use it some have said they can use it the label is still on debate and some are deciding it’s best if they identify as intrafeminine, or another [[gender modality]], more than transfeminine.
