Abstract

This study aims to explore the life journey of a man who wants to become a transfeminist woman through the perspective of masculinity studies. This study uses a qualitative method. The results of this study are as follows.  First, Lara as a transfeminist made psychological changes by making herself a graceful figure, changing her love desires by loving men, and having aspirations of becoming a ballerina so that she is like a natural woman. Second, Lara as a transfeminist made physical changes to become a normal woman by wearing earrings and women's clothes, cooking, doing feminizing hormone therapy to grow breasts, and planning to do a sex reassignment surgery to have a vagina. Third, from the aspect of attitude, Lara's family that supports Lara's transformation from male to female has become a controversy. However, in society, Lara, who is a transfeminist, is still controversial and not everyone accepts the presence of transfeminism/LGBT. This can be seen in how society bullies and sexually harasses her. In the end, Lara, who was assigned as a male, actually turned into a female.
