- happytoexplain 1y agoI am not the original commenter - though "mtf" is quite common, I believe. Maybe I am in a bubble.
- DangitBobby 1y agoNo, it's quite common and less confusing than "Trans Woman" because some people not well versed in these topics will be confused by only describing the final gender.

- theossuary 1y agoPeople who use MTF sound like this weirdo, just fyi So if that's your goal, I guess keep doing it

- DangitBobby 1y agoYour assertions of bigotry for terms you personally don't like are going to fall on deaf ears.
- theossuary 1y agoI dunno, I said it's used a lot by bigots, then a bigot shows up and agrees with me (now flagged). If that isn't a sign a term isn't great, I don't know what is?
- happytoexplain 1y agoJudging yourself by how unscrupulous people react to you is a common pitfall - it poisons your perception of others and blinds you to yourself. Tangentially: I was confused by the usage of the ambiguous word, "weird", as shorthand for "bigoted". I thought you were literally asking what "mtf" meant.
- qzjxk 1y agoIt's quite amusing to be called a bigot simply for pointing out how sexist it is to redefine women for the sole purpose of favoring a group of men.
