CTM or Close To Male is a term for intersex individuals who can be closely described as a wolffian, or described as 'almost wolffian' but aren't actually wolffian. This term is important, as the term "AMAB" implies that they are assigned male at birth and PWHP implies they have a penis, which is not always the case.

Many CTM individuals have XY chromosomes, however they do not have to. Instead, they may have other masculine traits such as a penis, testicles, defined muscle, a masculine body, etc. All that matters is that they can easily be classified as 'almost wolffian.'
They may have ambiguous genitals, be on the agenital spectrum, or have a vagina which means they may be assigned female at birth instead. Because of this, calling them AMAB may be incorrect to properly describe their experiences.
