'''Transfeminine''', or '''transfem''', |
'''Transfeminine''', or '''transfem''', , is a 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 [[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. |

==debate on this label== |
|||
There is very much debate on this label on who can use it and who can’t. |
|||
Some have said AFABS 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 more than transfeminine |

Many transfeminine individuals will try to present in a traditionally feminine way. This can include having long hair, wearing traditionally feminine clothes, and wearing makeup. They may wear breast forms to give the appearance of breasts. Some will tuck, which is the act of pushing the testicles back into the body and pushing or taping the penis back, to get rid of the bulge created by the penis. This can be dangerous to do for extended amounts of time, and it may be impossible for some transfeminine individuals as their body might not allow them to fully push their testicles back into their body. |
