A transwoman (also spelled trans woman or trans-woman) is a transsexual or transgender individual who is (or was) biologically male but who lives or wants to live her life as female; other terms include MtF (for male-to-female), t-girl, and ts-girl. Some individuals are labeled and assigned as males, but feel like that is not an accurate and complete description of themselves. They may desire to transition towards a gender identity as a woman to varying degrees.
