Terms like “transgender” [T], trans-masculine [TM] or trans-feminine [TF] are equally as informative but not unpleasant and dysphoric as “male-to-female” and “female-to-male”, which by many people are and will be viewed negatively.
Since posting and sexting is supposed to be about about fun and pleasure, I suggest changing the current rules to make space more inviting and accepting for different people. (:
Due to the mod request, I am personally fine with changing my gender tags ([F] (trans)) to [NB] for the time being and abstain from further posting as I’m principally opposed to refering to myself as “male to female” instead of “trans-feminine” or simply “transgender woman”. There is no need to introduce each post with implication of being “half a man” or “formerly a man” and the like.
It’s not that I am deeply offended or pretentious, but rather not taking pleasure from being grouped together with men [M] whenever I want to post something sexy.
P.S. I was otherwise very happy with my experience and enjoyed all the posts, comments and interactions (; <3
Cheers
Would you suggest getting rid of of FTM and MTF in favor of TM and TF or have them as additional options?
Personally, I’m more than fine with replacing the old ones but there may be some people who don’t mind and got used to the ftm / mtf thing - I don’t know what they would think.
