Transneutral

Transneutral is a term that can be used to describe a transgender individual who identifies fully or partially as a neutral, abinary, or other specific non-binary gender. It can be considered an umbrella term for anyone who transitions to a neutral identity. Transneutral individuals can identify as other non-neutral genders as well (e.g., someone who identifies as a neuwoman could simultaneously identify as transneutral.

Someone who is transneutral may identify as MtN/FtN (male/female to neutral) depending on the individual’s assigned gender at birth (AGaB – which can include AFAB, otherwise known as assigned female at birth, or AMAB, otherwise known as assigned male at birth).

Other definitions/things to note:

Sometimes, transneutral is used as a way to describe anyone who undergoes a medical transition process that is not fully transmasculine or fully transfeminine (either through surgery, hormone replacement therapy, or other similar ways of internally or externally transitioning). Under this definition, individuals who undergo transition(s) to seem more neutral may be considered transneutral.

*The feminine equivalent to transneutral is transfeminine. The masculine equivalent is transmasculine.
