#poll

I can see it

I still think it falls short

I disagree with any asab discussion

it’d be better but I’d still just say trans guy/girl since I don’t want to mention asab at all lol

this makes me sound like a gooner but ffm/mff makes me think of threesomes…

Unfortunately the mtf/ftm language is so commonplace elsewhere that this will most likely just confuse new users. Besides, replacing language because it’s somewhat flawed is really hard to do in a way that will catch on at a large scale

Honestly unless I’m having specific medical discussions, all that matters is that I’m non-binary. What I was labeled as a baby is completely irrelevant. So for me, asab talk is usually pointless (not always, I understand that it occasionally has its place)

I avoid mentioning sex at all. Unless you are my doctor or my booty call, you don’t need to know what’s in my pants OR “which way” I am. I am Man, plain and simple.

same thing for mtnb/ftnb vs trans masc NB/trans fem NB. I’d rather just say the longer version

Tbh I agree, and now that I’m 9 months into being on HRT and I can take my womanhood for granted my sex really hasn’t been part of the discussion for a while now so I have no stake in asab language anymore. Acronyms feel more for twitter than real life talking

yeah I just say I’m non-binary and binary trans people probs just say they’re a (trans) guy or girl. the attempt for a better acronym makes sense but I personally don’t see the need for one at all

Agreed. Though I do think I’m going to start replacing it in the very rare occasions I would otherwise use mtf or ftm… which is like never. But still

but also i think the poll is missing an option for the people who think the currently common mtf/ftm acronyms are fine. not sure who those people are but they definitely exist
