As far as I'm concerned this is a free speech comment section. Just don't forget the people who might be reading this and the beelaw.

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.
