Transfeminine, often abbreviated to transfem, is a term used to describe transgender people who generally were assigned male at birth and identify with a feminine gender identity to a greater extent than with a masculine gender identity. Usually transfeminine people try to appear stereotypically feminine in terms in their gender expression in order to create social recognition of their dominant feminine identity. The genders that can fall under transfeminine include:

Transgender women
Demigirls
Multigender people whose strongest gender identity is a feminine one
Genderfluid people who are feminine most often
Any other non-binary gender who views themselves as significantly feminine

Transfeminine can also be used as a gender identity in its own right. Although they have feminine gender identities, transfeminine people may prefer not to conform to stereotypical feminine gender expression or gender roles and may not try to appear more feminine.

The masculine equivalent of transfeminine is transmasculine.

-Transfeminine is a term used to describe those who were assigned male at birth, but identify as more female than male. Transfeminine is often used as a catch-all term for all people assigned male at birth who identify as feminine of center, including [[MTF]] [[transgender|trans]] women, but the adoption of the term as an identity is a matter of personal preference. Those who identify as transfeminine, as opposed to simply as MTF or a woman, trans or otherwise, often place themselves feminine of center. That is, they identify more closely with femaleness than maleness, and generally desire a physical appearance that reflects this identification, but do not identify as wholly female or as a woman. This identity is similar to that of a [[demigirl]] in that demigirls often identify with femaleness or femininity, but only partially. It should be noted that "transfeminine" is not a descriptor of gender expression but of identity. Transfeminine people do not necessarily have to be stereotypically feminine in their interests or even presentation.
