Male-to-Male
Male-to-Male or Male to Male (MtM or MTM or M2M) is a term for trans men who consider themselves to be transitioning male to male.[1][2] They were assigned female at birth, but reject the idea that their gender was ever female.[3] One may consider themselves to have always been male, but not in the way being male is traditionally defined.[1] MtM is sometimes preferred over the term FtM (Female to Male) by those who feel as though they never had a female gender identity.[4]
