    Hello,

    Could someone tell me what the identities 'transmasculine' and 'transfeminine' mean?

    Thank-you

    Don't quote me i'm not great on the labels but i'll try my best
    Last i understood transmasculine meant that you may feel more masculine and prefer more masculine things (I hate stereotypes but thats how i know how to word it)
    But from what i understand a lot of transmasculine people don't think there fully male.

    It's the same for transfeminine just the other way round.

    To add to what zoneingout said, I'm pretty sure transmasculine is only applicable to AFAB people, and transfeminine is only applicable to AMAB people

    Transmasculine is afab trans people who ID as something on the masculine side or sometimes don't but present as male. Transfeminine is the same but w/ amab transpeop.
