100.101.254.78: Removed unsupported assertion; neither the survey nor the dictionary are authoritative on the assertions of binary trans people. Language is fluid, and respondents would have to choose the language a survey used. And dictionaries are circular references, following back to a wiki. Needs better references to be an umbrella term - non-femme binary trans women would find this insulting, asserting wither that they're feminine or that they're not women first.

			Some [[neutrois]] people [neutrois is a specific nonbinary identity that is neither male nor female] feel they aren’t completely 100% gender-free or gender-neutral; rather, they lean a little more towards one side or another of the gender spectrum. Transfeminine means the person tilts towards female [...] It’s important to note this does not invalidate, contradict, or cancel out being neutrois, as they still feel a strong affinity with this identity. Instead, being transmasculine [...] is more of a modifier or a complement which adds to the complexity of their gender, gender expression, or gender identity. In these cases there might be a preference to present more closely to one gender over another, or it can be more comfortable to just live as one binary gender rather than the other. However, this choice is more often a result of convenience in order to navigate a society in which only two genders are recognized. A lot of people would ideally opt to have neutrois recognized as their gender and not be forced to make a decision between male and female only.

The word "transfeminine" was used in a 1985 issue of ''The TV-TS Tapestry'', a magazine "for persons interested in [[crossdressing]] & transsexualism". In that issue, Jane Nance wrote about the difficulties of describing herself with the then-current terminology: Since Jane felt her identity was fully womanly, she did not want to identify as "transvestite", and since she did not want [[surgery\|surgical transition]] she felt that "transsexual" was not accurate either, and neither was "[[transgenderist]]", since "I'm living and functioning in the world most of time in the male role." She proposed "transfeminine" as a possibility and said that the definition could be "a male who feels like a female, strictly undefined in relation to any issue of an operation".<ref>{{cite journal\|title=Transfeminine!!!\|last=Nance\|first=Jane\|journal=The TV-TS Tapestry \|year=1985\|issue=47\|pages=31-33 \|url=https://archive.org/details/tvtstapestry47unse/page/30/mode/2up?q=transfeminine\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220415173135/https://archive.org/details/tvtstapestry47unse/page/30/mode/2up?q=transfeminine\|archive-date=17 July 2023}}</ref> This might or might not be the first recorded usage of the word "transfeminine".

Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with your birth name, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a man is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably male.

	A similar but distinct umbrella term to the '''trans-feminine spectrum''' is the '''male-to-female spectrum''' ('''MtF spectrum'''), meaning that they were assigned male at birth, and transition in a more female direction. This term is also not limited to people who specifically identify as women. "Trans-feminine" and "MtF spectrum" carry different nuances of meaning that may suit people in different ways. Trans-feminine doesn't call out someone's birth assignment, but does call out their gender expression as being feminine. There are trans women who prefer a more [[butch]] than feminine gender expression.
