==Etymology==
 
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''. Nance described being assigned male at birth and having a feminine identity, not a "basic male self-identity". 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 [[Gender presentation|presenting]] as a woman, having a self-image as a woman, but lacking an interest in surgical [[transition]]. 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!"<ref name="TV-TS">{{Cite_print |author=Nance, Jane |titlepart=TRANSFEMININE!!! |title=The TV-TS Tapestry: The Journal for Persons Interested in Crossdressing & Transsexualism |version=no. 47 |publisher=Tiffany Club |date=1985 |url=https://archive.org/details/tvtstapestry47unse/page/30/mode/2up?q=transfeminine}}</ref>
