Coffee Bean Transmasc

An AGAB-less transmasc label. For any transmasc who doesn't want to reveal their AGAB, AMAB transmascs who want a less AGAB-focused label, transmascs who reject their AGAB, are AGABpunk, intersex transmascs, etc.

Meant to mirror Honeybee Transfem !

Bumblebee Transmasc flag + symbol

An AGAB-less transmasc label. For any transmasc who doesn't want to reveal their AGAB, AMAB transmascs who want a less AGAB-focused label, transmascs who reject their AGAB, are AGABpunk, intersex transmascs, etc.

Synonymous with Coffee Bean Transmasc and Hornet Transmasc ( this is the earliest mention of Hornet Transmasc I know of ) so you can also use these with / alongside either of those labels / flags, if you want !!

The flag was inspired by the Honeybee Transfem flag ( found here, term coining here and clarification on use here ), since this term parallels it and keeps the "bee" theme. It has the same meanings, but in relation to transmasculinity and masculinity. The symbol is a honeycomb pattern !! Here it is isolated for use wherever :

Deeply self-indulgent as I really just wanted to make a bug-themed flag and symbol, but free for anyone to use anywhere as always !! ( I am intersex and I will not fight about this label BTW. I just block without a response ^^ )

Some thoughts on Coffee Bean Transmasc as a label.

I just saw a post by someone saying that they felt like there wasn't a point to identifying as coffee bean transmasc because they already talked about typically assigned afab struggles and are easily clockable as afab, and I think what they said really made the point, right?

Being transmasc doesn't have to (only) be about your agab. It doesn't have to be informed by those experiences. It especially doesn't have to be informed by typical perisex experiences. Someone who is transmasc complaining about their period could have been any agab, could have any different sex characteristics, the point is that we don't try to explain and defend our transmasc identities by putting ourselves in specific boxes of agab language.

You can still complain about having your period. You can still complain about your voice and people clocking you as a gender you aren't. Doesn't mean you have to call yourself a specific agab. Just means you're you.

This is kinda, like, thinking you can't talk about being pregnant and identifying as coffee bean transmasc. These are things that play important roles in your life that you can choose to put certain language to.

I personally do not like calling myself afab. It's just uncomfortable in a lot of ways for me. But I still have my period, I still have a chest, I still have a feminine-ish face. I can complain about people misgendering me without talking about what doctors called me when I was born when they looked at my privates. Especially considering I'm intersex and my intersex experiences play a big part of all of the above.

What I'm getting at here is that perisex people also have to deconstruct the sex binary. I need more perisex people to talk about their experience and gender wayy outside the confines of dyadic norms. Need this the same way we needed straight people to be less heteronormative, by assuming you have a partner of the opposite sex, or cis people putting their pronouns in bio even though it could "be assumed".

Deconstructing the gender and sex binary isn't just the job of intersex people. It's for everyone.

What does it mean to be amab/coffee bean transmasc, and why might an amab individual identify as transmasc?

To be amab transmasc simply put, is just that, someone who was assigned male at birth, but feels transmasculine in some way. This includes intersex individuals as well. Identifying as transmasc when you're amab typically indicates a unique experience with masculinity that is difficult to otherwise describe.

There are many reasons someone amab might identify as transmasc, including, but not limited to:

The individual may be intersex, labeled as or raised as a different sex than male, making them feel trans. Some may feel a disconnect from masculinity because their physical bodies are not what people would describe as masculine/male, or they are not typically seen/recognized as male.

The individual may have transitioned to or came out as another gender, before realizing that they actually are still male/masculine to some capacity, whether partially or fully.

The individual may have questioned or misunderstood their own gender identity for a period of time, making them feel disconnected from masculinity in some way.

The individual(s) may be plural/a system with transmasc alters, even though the physical body is male. There may be other experiences with being plural/a system that makes the individual(s) experience masculinity in a unique way.

The individual may be alterhuman or nonhuman, whether fully or partially, making them perceive their masculinity/maleness differently than how humans would. There may be other experiences with being nonhuman/alterhuman that make the individual connect with masculinity in a unique way as well.

The individual may be multigender, being male or masculine along with other genders.

The individual may be genderfluid, being male or masculine only sometimes.

The individual may be only partially male or otherwise disconnected from traditional masculinity, while still being male/masculine (demiboy, boyflux, nonbinary man, neoboy, etc.).

This is by no means a full list, there may be many more reasons for an amab individual to be transmasc, but those are some examples and reasons of why one could be an amab transmasc. None of these experiences are "wrong" or invalid, there is no "right" way to be amab transmasc, and each one's individual experiences and journey should be respected. As long as the term is used in good faith, no reason for someone amab to identify as transmasc is any more or less valid than any other reason.

Blueberry Bee Transmascfem / Carpenter Bee Transmascfem flag + symbol

An AGAB-less Transmascfem / Transfemasc label. For anyone who is both a Honeybee Transfem and Bumblebee Transmasc ( or equivalent term ), Transmascfems who reject their AGAB, are AGABpunk, intersex Transmascfems, etc.

Made to parallel the Honeybee Transfem flag ( term coining here and clarification on use here ) and the Bumblebee Transmasc flag because I like the "Bee" theme and bugs in general. It has the same meanings but in relation to being Transmascfem instead of solely Transfem or Transmasc.

The outside stripes are closer to brown as a reference towards how Carpenter Bees nest in wood,while the symbol is inspired by blueberries for Blueberry Bees ( and because it looked cute TBH... )

Here is the isolated symbol for use elsewhere :

It was partially made by editing a vector from torskaya on flaticon. You can find the attribution link in the post source !! I added little star shapes to the berries for aesthetic appeal and clarity .

Another very self-indulgent work, and just like with Bumblebee Transmasc, I will not fight about this label. I block without a response ^^

Folks are not normal enough about folks who reject their AGAB, even if it's for personal, deep reasons. I hate how it's normalized to dictate someone else's identity in modern queer spaces.

Someone who says they're AMAB but transmasc sounds pretty freaking queer to me. I'm not going to question them because they have an experience I can't comprehend. It's not fair to them to have to explain themselves, and not be allowed to simply just be.

Someone rejecting their AGAB should not be as controversial as it is. Someone could have trauma relating to their AGAB, therefore reject it. Someone could simply not like being seen as their AGAB, so reject it entirely. Someone can validly choose to reject their AGAB for the sake of being 'reborn' in their new identity. Nothing wrong with that.

It feels weird to see folks say, "Um. You have to actually acknowledge that you were assigned a male, and that it'll forever be that way because you can't change your assigned gender at birth.", or say something like "You can only be AMAB or AFAB, you can't change what gender you were born into." to trans people. Not to mention how intersexist that can be. Like, how is this even a commonplace thing I hear as an argument against AGAB non-conforming folks???

Or someone telling me I'm cis for identifying as transfem, despite being AFAB. That infuriates me. I am NOT cis. I don't feel cis in any way. I don't feel comfortable with my AGAB. It's just transphobia whenever someone tells me this at this point. I AM transfem. My genders aren't all completely/traditionally female, therefore I identify as transfem. It's that simple. And the stupid "Cis isn't an identity, it's a fact and something you can't change." I beg of them to understand that some folks that would count as trans consider themselves cis. I beg of them to understand that some folks are cis and trans at the same time. I beg of them to understand that gender is messy, and minimizing the vast experience of gender down to AGAB is violently wrong.

Sure, I acknowledge I will not ever have the same experience as an AMAB transfem, but that doesn't make me any less transfem. Ever. I am still transfem, regardless of my AGAB. I. AM. Transfem. Proudly, and truly.
