trans-male
Female-to-male transition
A trans-male is a person assigned female at birth who identifies and lives as male.
The term emphasizes the destination rather than the origin—a trans-male is male.
Also written as one word (transmale) or two (trans male).
The noun form is less common than the adjective: a trans-male athlete, trans-male identity.
