Transfeminine, or Transfemme, is an umbrella term for individuals whose gender is partially or fully feminine, and does not correspond with their birth sex/assigned gender at birth, or otherwise conform to conventional notions of sex and gender. This includes trans women, whose gender is in some way feminine.
Transfeminine individuals can also identify as other, non-feminine genders as well. For example, an androgyne individual may identify as transfeminine, though typically one's feminine identities are more significant that one's non-feminine identities, or one wants to emphasize their feminine identity.
Transfeminine individuals are typically assigned male at birth, though they may also possibly be assigned X at birth or unassigned at birth. An assigned female at birth individual may also identify as Transfeminine if their assigned gender or sex is not the same as their gender identity. A simple example of this is an assigned female at birth individual who identifies as a Demigirl.
Transfeminine is sometimes used, not as a gender identity, but as a way to describe anyone who is assigned male at birth and undergoes femininization, either through surgery, hormone replacement therapy, or other methods. Under this definition men who take hormones to attempt to appear more feminine would be considered transfeminine.
The Transfeminine Pride Flag was created by an unknown individual on or before July 4, 2015. The flag has no confirmed meaning, but uses the same shades of pink and blue on the transgender flag.
