Beschreibung:
The visibility of feminine-to-masculine (FTM) transgenderism increased considerably in the 90s. The late modern/postmodern concept of the body as malleable in service of gendered identity presentation facilitated this upsurge in two ways: first, transgenderism became intelligible in society through this discourse. Second, representation of masculinity became increasingly corporal, performative, and thereby more adoptable for a female-bodied person. In addition, certain developments in the politics and circumstances of the transgender organizations, previously dominated by MTF transgenderists, now advance the activity and participation of FTMs in particular. The rise of female masculinity underlines the general change of masculinity towards more emphasized corporeality
