transcription: saying "male to female" instead of just trans woman is like referring to fully grown people as "baby to adult". ahh... so you used to be a baby????? are you telling be you were BORN a baby... but then... hormones turned you into an adult? nice try. giant baby

I remember being confused about it as well, thinking that "trans man" means someone who used to be a man, but is trans, so you apply "trans" to "man" and you get "trans man" (I might be autistic?). I was like "if a 'man' transitioned already, why do we say trans woman instead of just woman??" I now understand it more and it kinda makes sense, but I was really stumped for some time.

why we don't start counting stuff at zero

I might have the right career for you lol

Yeah, I was confused when I got hate for that.
"Trans woman is a man."

I thought the word "trans" acted as a negation operator.

I had the same confusion years ago, long before I transitioned
