Usually said aloud as "F to M." The term originally was used to refer specifically to female-to-male transsexuals (and the female-to-male transition process), though in recent years it has come to be used by others who are born in female bodies and who move toward masculine or male presentation without hormones or surgery; female-to-male transsexual: A person who was born in a female body but whose gender identity is male. 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; trans man: Used to refer to those who were identified as/assigned female at birth and identify along a masculin or male spectrum)
