'''Transemphasis''' is a word that refers to those who emphasize [[trans]]ness as a very important part, or the most important part, of their identity. It has ties to concepts such as trans radicalism, anti-assimilationist [[Queer|queerness]], and trenderpunk and is based on embracing transness as a concept and state of being. One may identify only as trans, and nothing as, or identify primarily as [[trans*]], more so than as a trans [[men]], trans [[women]], [[transfem]], [[transmasc]], [[non-binary]], etc. It is an identity defined by transness. One may also say that they would always be trans, even if they were [[Assigned Gender|assigned]] a different [[gender]] at birth. |

It would be understood as the person wanting to emphasize their transness, not their womanhood/manhood. A transemphatic person puts the focus on the trans part of themself, not the woman/man/etc. part.<ref>https://lgbtqiarchive.tumblr.com/post/632721275037564928/transemphasis</ref> |
