transemphasis

I made a post about remembering those who *only* identify as trans: not trans men, trans women, transfem or masc, nb, genderqueer, aligned or unaligned—just trans. And I was thinking last night about how I really liked that concept…not a gender, per se, just an identity defined by transness. Like how people say, “I would always be trans, even if I were assigned a different gender at birth.” I really liked that idea, so I came up with the following concept: Transemphatic.

Transemphatic is an word that refers to those who emphasize transness as a very important part, or the most important part, of their identity. It has ties to concepts such as trans radicalism, anti-assimilationist queerness, and trenderpunk. It can be someone’s only identity, as in, I’m trans and nothing else, or it could be combined with another label, like, I’m a transemphatic woman, a transemphatic man, a transemphatic xeumel*, etc.

In the case of being combined with being a trans man or woman, it could be understood as the person wanting to emphasize their transness, not their (wo)manhood. Someone who isn’t transemphatic might say, “I’m a man,” rather than, “I’m a trans man,” while a transemphatic person would put the focus on the trans part of themself, not the man part.

The concept or state of transemphasis can be a visible one, shown through clothing, pronouns, names, presentation, etc, or a private one, in the way that many labels are private. For an example of a way one personally may show one’s transemphasis, take using neopronouns or emoji/symbol pronouns. The pronouns ⚧️/⚧️s might be used by a transemphatic person, because by using them, one is visibly emphasizing one’s transness in an inescapable way. However, this is just one example, and the concept of transemphasis is a very flexible and personal one, that each person who takes upon the label can and will interpret and contextualize in a different way.

This is a concept I put a name to, but it may already exist in different forms without my knowledge. Anyone can use the term, I’ve never been a fan of making up your mind for you. 

*xeumel (n): a nonbinary person.

some transmaverine flags

a flag for trans people who are moving towards maverinity, the maverine equivalent to terms like transmasculine, transfeminine, etc. may be called transmav for short.

Transdrogynous Pride Flag

Transandrogyny (trandrogyny/transdrogyny): a term used to describe transgender people identifying with androgyny to a greater extent than masculinity or femininity.

Transandrogynous/trandrogynous is an alternative to transleptral (transneutral, transnegative, transpositive, transnull), transfeminine and transmasculine. Designed by @decaykid.

transvir: 7 stripes | 7 stripes alternate | 4 stripes transera: 7 stripes | 7 stripes alternate | 4 stripes

transvir: an umbrella term for all afab* people whose gender(s) is/are male-adjacent, male-aligned, male-identified, and/or male. a subset of transmasculine that specifies that one identifies as male in some way, which can be used as a single-word adjective version of ‘trans man’ (ex: ‘i’m transvir’)

transera: an umbrella term for all amab* people whose gender(s) is/are female-adjacent, female-aligned, female-identified, and/or female. a subset of transfeminine that specifies that one identifies as female in some way, which can be used as a single-word adjective version of ‘trans woman’ (ex: ‘i’m transera’)

*both of these terms are inclusive of intersex people who are not afab/amab but have similar/the same experiences as trans men/women nonetheless

more new gendervir/genderera terms! i personally am fine with the term transmasculine, but i know some trans men who don’t consider their genders masculine/identify with masculinity, don’t plan to go through a ‘masculine’ transition, or otherwise don’t feel fully described by transmasculine, and i assume there are some trans women out there who feel the same. i figured these could be welcome alternatives for people like that, as well as useful terms for those who do still consider themselves transmasc/transfem but also want to specify their trans male/female identity or be able to describe that identity with a specific adjective!

the first flags are based on these transmasculine and transfeminine flags, the second remove the stripes associated with one’s assigned gender for those who prefer not to reference that, and the four-stripe flags are based on these. i wanted versions based on the more commonly-used transmasc and transfem flags as well as alternatives for those who want them!

Transtidal: A trans person who has a masculine or man related identity, is transitioning towards masculinity or manhood, etc., regardless of anything else about their identity. Can be shortened to transtid.

Someone who might want to use this label includes...

Those whose manhood or masculinity is distinctly trans, but do not identify with being a trans man or transmasculine.

Someone who is admasculine and/or sensmasculine, and who feel that this identity is also trans.

People who do not want their AGAB assumed; only that they are trans, and aligned with masculinity or manhood in some way. This includes transmasc and trans men who would rather not disclose being that identity for safety, comfort, or preference.

Identifying with your AGAB, while also feeling as though you're transitioning towards it or have an identity surrounding it in a trans way (such as experiencing a different kind of masculinity or manhood.)

Nonbinary, genderqueer, etc. men or masculine people who want a blanket term for their trans identity, or who feel as though they're transitioning to manhood or masculinity in their own way.

Those who are reclaiming their manhood or masculinity that was formerly upsetting or wrong for them, and thus feel as though they're transitioning to it or only just realizing their manhood or masculine gender.

Someone who is simply trans and masculine and/or a man, and likes the term transtidal to describe that.

Plenty more!

The term refers to the tides, and how they rise and sink, flow and recede from the ocean, and can represent someone's identity or transition. Or it can just be a cool nod to the ocean, doesn't matter.

The feminine equivalent to this term is translunar.

This term was made by me, but the flag and symbol weren't; they were submitted by someone! I edited the flag a bit to be brighter, but other than that, credit goes to them!

*or almost never, accounting for that you might put it on a medical form bc that's different from stating your identity or socially defining yourself

*OUTSIDE of the common sense scenario of someone not knowing what you use and not wanting to assume

Note from OP: sorry for grouping cissex/transsex/altersex/perisex/etc. together. There's not enough space to make them separate or add more. You can specify which one you are in the notes if you want.
