The term onabe refers to transgender men and trans-masculine non-binary people within Japan. Originating in the 1970s, onabe used to refer to a “maid servant," but later came to be used as a female counterpart for “okama,” a derogatory term for gay men and transgender women.[1]
Historically, the definition of the word is disputed.[2]
