Definition of «transmasc»

"Transmasc" is an umbrella term and identity label referring to transgender individuals who were assigned female at birth but identify with a masculine gender identity or gender expression. Short for "transmasculine," the term encompasses binary trans men as well as non-binary individuals whose gender presentation or journey aligns toward masculinity. It is widely used within LGBTQ+ communities, social media spaces, and academic discussions as an inclusive self-descriptor. The word provides a sense of community identity, allowing individuals to describe their shared experience of masculine transition without requiring a strictly binary male identity.
