For sure! Here's an excerpt from the jam page itself, so we're excited to see what you'll make 🩷🤍🩵

What is the definition of trans masculine?

A person who is assigned female at birth and now identifies as masculine in some way, shape, or form. This definition includes identities such as nonbinary trans mascs, genderfluid trans mascs, binary trans men, trans masc and he/him lesbians, etc. and is meant to be broadly interpreted as I have no interest in gatekeeping this label. We're open to seeing trans masculine characters who have not transitioned medically (often called pre-op), are non-op, post-op, and every stage of transition in-between.
