Stupid question: does this mean M>F or F>M? So I can better understand the reference.
You could say MtF but I am not comfortable with that label. I prefer AMAB. Because I was always a woman but assigned male at birth.
A general way to remember this is that a trans woman is a woman, so she's going to call herself a woman. She wouldn't call herself a man and also be transitioning at the same time.
Like generally when we're referring to ourselves we don't do it in a self-invalidating way on purpose.
It means she's transitioning femmewards. She wouldn't call herself something she hates being, now, would she?
And this is why I said "its a stupid question."
All questions are welcome. It used to confuse me a lot too.
