I identify as transneutral rather than transmasculine as a trans man. Why do y’all identify this way?
Greetings my fellow transneutral friends and others interested …
I’d like to share why transneutral is a particularly important term for me. I am a trans man, and according to the umbrella: I am also considered “transmasculine.” Unfortunately, ignorant cis people hear “nb AFAB masc person,” and disregard the fact that many transmasc people are men.
It just feels like covert misgendering, bc I am not transmasc. I’m transneutral. The label transneutral tells you nothing about my AGAB or what ppl think my genitals are. And I really really resent when cis ppl focus on the agab of trans ppl, and then assume tons of incorrect info.
Transneutral (and transandrogynous) are apt terms for those who don’t want to disclose their AGAB. I’m so glad they are becoming more popularized.
And, to me, transneutral means: neither nor. And transandrogynous means: both and. So that’s why I prefer the former rather than the latter.
I’d love to hear y’all’s thoughts about why the term transneutral feels right.
