History
This term was coined by Miraheze user Mike7outlaw on March 21st, 2022. On March 12th, 2022, Discord user Jadenn (tag will not be shared unless given permission) posted an image to the LGBTA+ Wiki Central Discord server of the word "Masculine" being put into Google Translate (Spanish), then translating into two different forms, "Masculino" which is the correct term, and "Masculina", which is not grammatically correct in the Spanish language but made sense. Miraheze user Mike7outlaw then got the idea to coin this term.

Flags
