用法筆記
Often used with a space ('trans man') rather than as one word ('transman'), though both forms appear. The term is respectful standard usage; avoid the outdated term 'transgendered'. 'Trans man' emphasizes that the person is a man whose gender identity is male — the word 'trans' functions as a modifier, not a separate category.
