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

For future reference trans woman=woman, trans man=man, both referring to the person as they are in the present.

"From what to what" doesn't really apply to a person whose soul/self has always been the same gender even though their body parts didn't align.

And only use "trans woman" or "trans man" if their transition experience is the subject of the conversation. .

Otherwise, leave the past in the past and use woman or man like you would for yourself.

This will also help you avoid offending cis people who just happen to have atypical features and body shape.

I remember what trans womand and trans man means, but I don't think many instinctively do
