Intramasculine



'Intramasculine, or intra-masc''', is a gender modality under the intragender umbrella describing an individual who was AMAB and, while not being cisgender, has a similar experience to that of cisgender male individuals. Examples may include:


 * Being AMAB and identifying partially as male or masculine
 * Being AMAB and identifying with a gender identity which is masculine or is similar/comparable to male
 * Being AMAB and feeling that their gender identity is heavily influenced by maleness or masculinity

Intramasculine individuals may experience non-masculine genders as well, though typically their masculine identities are more significant than their non-masculine identities or they want to emphasize their masculinity or masculine identities.

Intramasculine may be considered to AMAB counterpart to transmasculine. The feminine equivalent is intrafeminine.

History
Intramasculine was coined by Instagram user @mogai.terms on March 18, 2021. It was made with the purpose of giving a label to AMAB masculine-aligned/man-aligned individuals, since transmasculine only applies to non-AMAB individuals.

Flag
The intramasculine was made at the same time that the label was coined, by the same person. Light yellow represents intersex and isogender intra-mascs, light blue is for intra-mascs who are only partially masculine, medium blue is for intra-mascs whose gender is very strongly masculine, and the dark blue in the center is symbolic of feeling masculine within and relating to ones non-cisgender identity.

Etymology
"Intra-" comes from the Latin word for "within".
