Ave Duvet

Published: June 11, 2021, 9 a.m.

This week I am joined by the delightful Ave Duvet who is a drag artist and painter. Today me and Ave talk about the term 'transtrender' and the judgement that trans men can face from appearing feminine. You can find me on Instagram @locqueslaroux and Ave Duvet @aveduvet

Masculinity 101: Transmasculine people \u2014 an umbrella term for trans men, gender nonbinary and gender-non-conforming individuals who were assigned female at birth \u2014 find they are often questioned and judged, even by others in the trans community, on whether they are masculine enough. On social media, transmasculine people who show femininity, such as by wearing nail polish or makeup, are often attacked as \u201ctranstrenders,\u201d a slur for a person who adopts a trans identity lightly, as a fad.
