Onabe (お鍋, おなべ, literally "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. Historically, the definition of the word is disputed.
