Optional section: If the topic has similarities to another gender/orientation, use this section to highlight the differences between them. References are required for this section. Do not add flags that are specifically for sub-groups those belong on pages for those sub-groups. This section should also explain the meaning behind the flag's design and who created it. Optional section: Include a pride flag if one exists and there is evidence of its use beyond someone proposing a possible design. Historyĭocument the community's most important history, including facts such as key events, breakthroughs in improving the community's wellbeing and rights, or historical figures known to belong to the community. If not needed, it can be left blank between the Community heading and History subheading. A wide range of topics can be included here, such as impacts that people who identify as this term have on society, things specific to this identity's community (like ace rings to asexuals), and miscellaneous achievements or contributions by this group that do not fall into the other subsections. The top part of this section is more general, while the subsections are specific. Nance wondered, "Do we need another term or category to cover my particular reality? Maybe! Could it be 'transfeminine' (a male who feels like a female, strictly undefined in relation to any issue of an operation) - perhaps!" Community However, the existing "transvestite" and "transsexual" terminology of the time was inadequate and did not account for not feeling like "a male dressing in women's clothes" when presenting as a woman, having a self-image as a woman, but lacking an interest in surgical transition. Nance described being assigned male at birth and having a feminine identity, not a "basic male self-identity". The term "transfeminine" may or may not have been coined by Jane Nance in 1985 in the article "TRANSFEMININE!!!", which was published in the journal The TV-TS Tapestry.
