NounEdit

trans woman (plural trans women)

  1. A transgender or transsexual woman; i.e., a woman who was assigned male at birth.

Usage notesEdit

  • Trans woman is often spelled with a space, with trans as an adjective modifying the noun woman, similar to Asian woman, tall woman, fat woman, etc.[1][2][3][4] The unspaced spelling transwoman is sometimes used interchangeably,[2] including by a few transgender people.[5] However, it is often associated with views (notably gender-critical feminism) that hold that transgender women are not women,[1][3][4] and thus require a separate word from woman to describe them. For this reason many transgender people find transwoman offensive.[3][4]
