Transmen

It is important to note that not all trans people choose to transition. Some people may identify as transgender but not feel the need to make any physical changes to their bodies. Others may choose to transition partially, such as by taking hormones but not having surgery.

The terms “transwoman” and “transman” are used as adjectives to describe someone’s gender identity. For example, you could say “she is a transwoman” or “he is a transman.” The terms “transgender woman” and “transgender man” are also sometimes used, but they are not as common.

It is important to use the pronouns that a trans person prefers. If you are unsure of what pronouns to use, you can always ask. It is also important to be respectful of a trans person’s identity and to avoid making assumptions about their gender based on their appearance.

Trans women and trans men are individuals whose gender identity differs from the sex assigned to them at birth.

Trans women are individuals who were assigned male at birth but identify and live as women. They may undergo various steps of gender affirmation, such as hormone therapy (to develop feminine secondary sexual characteristics) and gender-affirming surgeries (such as facial feminization surgery, breast augmentation, or genital reconstruction surgery) to align their physical appearance with their gender identity. Some trans women may also choose to socially transition by using their preferred name, pronouns, and adopting a feminine gender expression.

Trans men, on the other hand, are individuals who were assigned female at birth but identify and live as men. They may pursue hormone therapy (such as testosterone therapy) to develop masculine secondary sexual characteristics and may opt for gender-affirming surgeries like chest masculinization or genital reconstruction surgery to align their physical appearance with their gender identity. Socially, trans men may also choose to transition by using their preferred name, pronouns, and adopting a masculine gender expression.

It’s important to respect and affirm the gender identities of trans women and trans men, using their preferred names and pronouns. Each individual’s journey and experience of gender may differ, and it’s important to support and validate their self-identified gender.
