@Rasp i don't mind it in medical circumstances (mostly because biological sex, in most cases, is quite important to get right for proper treatment)

but i agree that when people use those terms outside of where absolutely necessary, it can certainly come off as malicious compliance at best

@ari most times I've seen it it would be better replaced with transmasc/transfem

@Rasp i've seen a lot of people get confused about the ambiguity of the terms- i.e., does transmasc mean "transitioned from masculine" or "transitioned to masculine"?

i've actually come across many cases of well-meant people getting this mixed up

@ari @Rasp
There was a time when I didn't know whether trans girl meant transing to or from girl. Eventually I figured it out and reasoned that a trans person probably wouldn't want to broadcast the gender they were born with in their self labelling.

@ari @Paradox which is why the whole AMAB/AFAB thing bothers me cause its basically the same thing
