Onabe (お鍋, おなべ, or the literal translation being a cooking pan) is slang referring 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.
