Transmasculine

Transmasculine, sometimes abbreviated to transmasc, is an umbrella term that describes a transgender person (generally one who was assigned female at birth), and whose gender is masculine and/or who express themselves in a masculine way. Transmasculine people feel a connection with masculinity, but do not always identify as male. Transmasculine people can include, but are not limited to: trans men, demiboys, multigender people, genderfluid people and nonbinary people, as long as they identify with masculinity. Transfeminine is the feminine equivalent of transmasculine.

The most common transmasculine flag has pink stripes on the top and bottom, and a symmetrical gradient of blue stripes in the middle. See Category:Transmasculine pride flags for other proposed transmasculine flags.
