'''Transmasculine''', or '''transmasc''', is an [[umbrella term]] for individuals
Transmasculine individuals can also identify as other, non-masculine genders as well. For example, an [[androgyne]] individual may identify as transmasculine, though typically, one's masculine identities are more significant than one's non-masculine identities, or one wants to emphasize their masculine identity.
Transmasculine individuals are typically AFAB, though they may also possibly be [[AXAB]], [[AIAB]] or [[UAB]]. An [[AMAB]]
Transmasculine is sometimes used, not as a gender identity, but as a way to describe anyone who is assigned female at birth and undergoes masculinization, either through surgery, hormone replacement therapy, or other methods. Under this definition women who take testosterone to attempt to appear more masculine would be considered transmasculine.
The [[feminine]] equivalent to transmasculine is [[transfeminine]]. The [[neutral]] equivalent is [[transneutral]]. The [[androgynous]] equivalent is [[transandrogynous]]. The [[xenine]] equivalent is [[transxenine]]. The
== Examples ==
Some examples of genders that transmasculine individuals may identify as include:
*[[
*[[Non-Binary Man|Non-binary men]]
*[[Demiboy]]s
*[[Genderfluid]] individuals who identify as masculine more often than other genders.
*[[Proxvir
*[[Solarian]]s
*[[Neptunian
*[[Juparian
*Any other [[
== Transition ==
Many transmasculine individuals will try to present in a traditionally masculine way. This can include having short hair and wearing traditionally masculine clothes. Some will wear packers to give the feeling and appearance of having a penis. Many will wear binders to make their chest flat, however binding can potentially be dangerous and can lead to deformation of the rib cage, especially if done incorrectly or for long periods of time.
Medical transition typically involves taking testosterone injections or testosterone gel. Surgical elements can include a mastectomy to remove breasts (known as top surgery), and metoidioplasty and/or phalloplasty to create a penis (known as bottom surgery). It is also not uncommon for transmasculine individuals to have a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries), or both.
