With some migrations underway it’s natural to use well established community names for discoverability, but it got me thinking how I’ve always disliked MtF as a community name since it feels dated and “medicalizing”.

Not trying to start anything here, just wondering out loud if a “Transfem” community would cater to the same needs but with less emphasis on where you supposedly came from and more focused on what we want.

    I consider myself NB transfem. I prefer transfem because, to me at least, it invokes a feeling of movement towards feminity as opposed to into feminity.

    For a community name I’m honestly not sure which one would be better. I think discoverability and inclusivity should be the deciding factors. MtF has the lineage from past communities and transfem is more inclusive.
