Noun CEFR C2
/ˌɹəʊ.tʃɪ.fɪˈkeɪ.ʃən/

Definitions

  2. The act or process of a trans man transitioning, typically from a physically attractive feminine appearance to a conventionally unattractive masculine one.
    Internet, derogatory, figuratively, offensive, sometimes, uncountable

Examples

“I love roachification as a way to show a transmasculine person finally being able to relax out of femininity. Not just leaving it behind, but being too lazy to pick it back up once the masculinity “takes over.” Now that you’re comfortable enough to be lazy, dirty, and self-indulgent, why would you ever go back? I love a transmasc leaning into who they are—including, perhaps especially, if who they are is smelly and sweaty and hedonistic.”
