With some migrations underway it's natural to use well established community names for discoverability, but it got me thinking how I've always disliked MtF as a community name since it feels dated and "medicalizing".

Not trying to start anything here, just wondering out loud if a "Transfem" community would cater to the same needs but with less emphasis on where you supposedly came from and more focused on what we want.

Totally get that, many practical reasons! I'd vote for including it in the name as well. I did check the sidebar but managed to miss that.
