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 like “transfem” for two main reasons: 1) the old acronym can be an unhappy reminder of “M” times 2) it’s much more inclusive of transfem enbies.
