roachification noun: the act or process of becoming a roach.
Noun
roachification (uncountable)
- The act or process of becoming a roach.
- The act or process of a trans man transitioning, typically from a physically attractive feminine appearance to a conventionally unattractive masculine one.
- 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...2025 May 17, Annika, “Roachification and Eroticizing Transmasculinity”, in ink-flavored (blog), Tumblr
