General
male figure
What does male figure mean?
The masculine counterpart to female figure: a ballroom category judged on male presentation, open to butch queens, butch women and trans men alike. Same principle — the figure you serve matters, not the gender on your ID. It lets a whole range of bodies compete in one lane on the strength of the masculine illusion they bring.
"Walking male figure, he had the swagger locked before he hit the runway."
Origin
Ballroom category judged on masculine gender performance rather than gender identity; counterpart to 'female figure'.
