trans guy
Female-to-male individual
A trans guy is a transgender man—someone assigned female at birth who identifies and lives as male.
The term is informal and common in LGBTQ+ communities: My roommate is a trans guy.
Trans guy emphasizes casual, peer-level recognition rather than clinical terminology.
