Transfeminine

Transfeminine, often abbreviated to transfem or transfemme refers to transgender people who have a gender identity that is predominantly feminine. Another definition refers to transgender people who typically were assigned male at birth and whose genders are mainly feminine. Transfeminine people may or may not identify as female. It can be a standalone identity term or an umbrella term that may include certain identities, such as:
 * Transgender women
 * Non-binary people who feel their gender is feminine, whether entirely or partially
 * Genderfluid or multigender people who feel predominantly feminine, such as genderfae people
 * Demigirls
 * Girlflux people

Etymology
The term "transfeminine" may or may not have been coined by Jane Nance in 1985 in the article "TRANSFEMININE!!!", which was published in the journal The TV-TS Tapestry. Nance described being assigned male at birth and having a feminine identity, not a "basic male self-identity". However, the existing "transvestite" and "transsexual" terminology of the time was inadequate and did not account for not feeling like "a male dressing in women's clothes" when presenting as a woman, having a self-image as a woman, but lacking an interest in surgical transition. Nance wondered, "Do we need another term or category to cover my particular reality? Maybe! Could it be 'transfeminine' (a male who feels like a female, strictly undefined in relation to any issue of an operation) - perhaps!"

Community
''The top part of this section is more general, while the subsections are specific. A wide range of topics can be included here, such as impacts that people who identify as this term have on society, things specific to this identity's community (like ace rings to asexuals), and miscellaneous achievements or contributions by this group that do not fall into the other subsections. If not needed, it can be left blank between the Community heading and History subheading.''

History
Document the community's most important history, including facts such as key events, breakthroughs in improving the community's wellbeing and rights, or historical figures known to belong to the community.

Flag
Some transfeminine people prefer to use the transgender flag; the transfeminine flag symbolizes being male on the "outside" but feeling anywhere on a broad spectrum of femininity on the "inside".

Distinction
Not all people who are transfeminine, or transfem, identify as a woman. Any feminine identifying non-binary person, demigirl, or other femininely aligned transgender person would be considered transfem as well.

Controversy
''Optional section: If this topic has been the subject of any controversies, detail them in this section. For example, it could explain outdated or disputed terms, disagreements about how this identity is defined, identity-phobic discourse around popular flags, or other conflicts.''

Perceptions and discrimination
''This section focuses more on the specific kinds of discrimination and oppression that these people may face. Examples would be mentioning systematic transphobia and non-binary erasure on the page for agender, mentioning rates of mental health issues in this group, etc.''

Media
This section should be used to elaborate on the portrayal and representation of this identity in various forms of media, which can include a listing or links to various artists or movies, series, etc. Subheadings like Film, Television, Literature, and Music should be used where appropriate.
