It is a synonym for male-bodied, used to describe someone that is of the [[Man|male]] [[sex]].<br />
<br />
Wolffian individuals have at least two of any of the following features<br />
<br />
* a penis<br />
* testicle(s)<br />
* a scrotum<br />
* a prostate<br />
* XY chromosomes<br />
* seminal vesicle(s)<br />
* an epididymis<br />
* a vas deferens<br />
<br />
Or they at least<br />
<br />
* are capable of producing sperm<br />
* have testosterone as their dominant, primary hormone <small>(unless they lack all other previously listed features)</small><br />
<br />
Ideally, a Wolffian refers to a [https://lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/Cissex cissex] [[dyadic]] individual who is was correctly [[Assigned Sex|assigned male at birth]]. However, the term can apply to [[Woman|female]]-[[Transition|to]]-[[Man|males]] that are both [https://lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/Transgenital transgenital] & [https://lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/Transhormonal transhormonal], and sometimes [https://lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/CTM CTM] individuals, as phenotypic sex is the primary classification for sex at large. [[Trans Man (FtM)|Transsexual males]] (that are AFAB) being excluded from the wolffian category is a [[Transphobia|transphobic]] practice, as it excludes [[Trans Man (FtM)|trans males]] from [[Man|male]] categorizations and separates them from the male identity, despite them being both anatomically and psychologically male. Through a sex-binary lens, someone may also identify as wolffian if they lack the majority of dominant [[müllerian]] traits.<br />
<br />
The term is a less-gendered approach to biological identification. The term 'biological male,' while technical and correct, is often used by transphobes to reduce [[Trans Woman (MtF)|trans women]] down to their anatomy. Still, should Wolffian not be used for someone outside of a medical, biological or anatomical context.<br />
<br />
Wolffian is not synonymous with being assigned male at birth, for reasons being that individuals assigned male at birth can be [[müllerian]] or [https://lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/CTF CTF], [[Assigned Sex|ASAB]] labelling can be mistaken for [[intersex]] individuals, and that not every wolffian is AMAB.<br />
