A trans man was assigned female at birth, but identifies as male. The label of transgender male is not interchangeable with that of transsexual male although the two are often combined or mistaken for the same thing. The difference is that while transgender males identify with the male gender identity, transsexual males may intend to undergo physical changes to align their body with their gender identity. A transgender male is someone whose gender identity is male, but who does not necessarily change himself physically. ... The term "trans man" is used as a short form for either identity (transsexual man and transgender man). Trans men may identify as transsexual, as transgender, neither, or both. "Transgender man" is an umbrella term that may include anybody who was assigned the female sex at birth but identifies as male.) Hudson's FTM resource guide, via WWW, Sept. 17, 2018: FTM basics: terminology (F2M: see "FTM"; FTM: Short for Female-To-Male. Usually said aloud as "F to M."

Also can refer to those assigned female at birth, in the case of intersex people, whose gender identity is male. Often, female-to-male transsexuals will seek hormonal and/or surgical treatment in order to live as a men in society. NOTE: The use of the term "transsexual" has fallen out of favor in recent years due to its strong links to the medicalization of trans identities. That said, there are still a percentage of trans people who prefer to identify with the term transsexual) Brighton trans*formed, 2014: p. 156 (FTM: female-to-male. Trans man/a transsexual man.
