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"....
“MTF” feels sometimes like a backhanded way of still calling me a guy. I’m not a guy. It also reinforces the gender binary, which I feel we have a pretty significant population that doesn’t fall neatly into that or feel comfortable self-describing as that.
I think it also might benefit to mention that while yes, this is a community about transfems, all queer or even cis people are welcome to engage so long as they’re respectful. Possibly in the sidebar.
it actually is good nowadays. In response to someone else constantly whining about edge. (lemmy.world)
Got proof of publication!
I received my proof of publication last night! Legal name change, here we come!...
