A trans man (sometimes trans-man or transman) is a transgender person who was assigned female at birth but whose gender identity is that of a man. The label of transgender man is not always interchangeable with that of transsexual man, although the two labels are often used in this way. ''Transgender'' is an umbrella term that includes different types of gender variant people (including transsexual people). Many trans men choose to undergo surgical or hormonal transition, or both (see sex reassignment therapy), to alter their appearance in a way that aligns with their gender identity more appropriately or alleviates gender dysphoria. A trans man may identify as heterosexual, homosexual, gay, bisexual, pansexual, polysexual, asexual, demisexual, etc., and some trans men consider conventional sexual orientation labels inadequate or inapplicable to them. ==Terminology== The term ''trans man'' is used as a short form for either identity (transsexual man and transgender man).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=what are Answers to Your Questions About Transgender Individuals and Gender Identity )〕 This commonly referred to as female-to-male (FTM or F2M). Trans men may identify as transsexual, as transgender, neither, or both.〔()〕 ''Transgender man'' is an umbrella term that may include anybody who was assigned female at birth (called ''AFAB''), but identifies as male. For instance, some androgynous, bigender, and genderqueer people might identify as transgender.〔 Because ''transgender'' is an umbrella term, it is imprecise and does not adequately describe specific identities and experiences. The term ''transsexual'' originated in the medical and psychological communities. However, unlike the term ''transgender'', ''transsexual'' is not an umbrella term, and many transgender people do not identify as such.〔 ''Transsexual'' is a term for AFAB (assigned female at birth) and amab (assigned male at birth) people alike who feel their sex organs do not reflect their gender and have chosen to change some aspect of their body; it is an older term, with GLAAD stating that it is "still preferred by some people who have permanently changed - or seek to change - their bodies through medical interventions (including but not limited to hormones and/or surgeries)."〔 The FTM community coined the term ''transfag'' to describe a trans man attracted to other men. However, this phrase is still controversial because of its previous usage as a derogatory slur directed towards trans women. The transgender community sometimes uses the term "passing" to describe a transgender person's ability to appear as the gender they identify with. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「trans man」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
