Ask Women on Yik Yak | This is such a stupid ask but I want to make sure I get this right. Trans women are people who are male to female, and trans men are people who are female to male? I’m very scared of accidentally misgendering/using the wrong term ;-;

Most terms prioritize the identity/gender/what they’re transitioning INTO rather than what they were born as. For me it helps to think, ah yes she feels that she is a woman. Therefore, trans woman. I’m probably breaking this down too much but it helped me
