Transmasculine, often abbreviated to transmasc, is a term used to describe transgender and/or non binary people who have a gender identity that is predominantly masculine. Transmasculine people may or may not identify as male.

Another definition refers to transgender people who were assigned female at birth and whose genders are mainly or completely masculine, though people who are assigned male at birth or intersex can be transmasculine as well. In the case of AMAB individuals, the majority of AMAB transmascs are intersex and/or have genders that are partially male and partially not. For example, an AMAB libramasc individual can be transmasculine, or an AMAB intersex man can be transmasculine.

Transmasculine may be used as a standalone identity term, or an umbrella term to refer to both binary and non-binary trans men and male- or masc-aligned trans individuals.

The feminine equivalent of transmasculine is transfeminine. The androgynous equivalent is transandrogynous. The neutral equivalent is transneutral. The xenine equivalent is transxenine. The outherine equivalent is transoutherine. The aporine equivalent is transaporine.

The original transmasculine flag was created by an anonymous user, submitting to the Tumblr account pride-flags, on 23 April 2015. It was originally a flag for trans men, but is most commonly used as a general transmasculine flag. The pink on the outside represents that when they were born, people thought they were a girl, and the blue on the inside represents that they’re actually a boy on the inside.
