Line 1:
'''CTM''' or '''Close To Male''' is a term for [[intersex]] individuals who can be closely described as a male, or described as 'almost male' but aren't actually male. This usually implies one has XY chromosomes, a penis or something similar to a penis, and other [[masculine]] traits while not being entirely male.
This term is important, as the term "[[AMAB]]" implies that they are assigned male at birth,
Many CTM individuals have XY chromosomes, however they do not have to. Instead, they may have other masculine traits such as testicles, defined muscle, a masculine body, etc. All that matters is that they can easily be classified as 'almost male.'
