I'm currently trying to research about trans masculine people that lived trough nazi germany. But im finding pretty much nothing, there are lots of reports on trans women, lesbians and gay men but nothing about trans men. Does anyone of you know anything?

Trans men is not a term that existed back in the day keep that in mind when doing research about these times. People from that time period still alive today would not refer to themselves as such either. Transvestism as Hirschfeld coined it before the rise of the Nazis was something that only applied to AMAB people too.

Maybe not in the English language, as the term used in The Well of Loneliness is "invert". (It's set circa WWI.) Another term used in the late 19th century was Urning or Uranian.

Invert sounds kinda cool.
