In 2010, on an essay written on his blog [https://sleighthompson.wordpress.com/ Rants and Ramblings], titled ''What’s in a Word?: Crafting Transmasculine'', S. Leigh Thompson, who was president of the TransMasculine Community Network, presents the result of his work with organizers and advocates to craft a definition for the term "transmasculine." The definition suggested by Leigh was "any person who was assigned female at birth but feels that is an incomplete or incorrect description of their gender." He mentions, at the end of this blog post, that the first version of the essay had been published in 2006.<ref>Thompson, S. Leigh.
