Transfeminine, also known as transfem or transfemme, refers to someone who is transgender, non-binary, or gender non-conforming and whose gender is mostly feminine, whether in identity, expression, or both. Transfem may be used by people who were assigned male at birth (AMAB) who identify as transfeminine.
Transfem can be a standalone identity term or an umbrella term that may include certain identities, such as:
- Trans women
- Multigender or non-binary people who feel that their gender is more feminine
- Genderfluid people whose gender is predominantly feminine, feminine all of the time, or feminine some of the time
- Demigirls – defined as someone who partially identifies as a girl, woman, or feminine
Other definitions/things to note:
A transfeminine person may or may not use the labels trans and femme or label themselves female.
*The masculine equivalent of transfem is transmasc.
