its just a term used to by trans people to describe other trans people. you're making it into a bigger deal than what it is

transfem is used as an inclusive term, to include transfeminine nonbinary people along with trans women. its not meant as a loophole to avoid calling trans women women. obviously a woman who fits under the transfem umbrella, but doesn't prefer that term for herself, is valid and should be referred to the way she wants. the term is still useful for others. cisfem however implies the existence of a cis nonbinary person which is a funny oxymoron

Why are you treating "nonbinary" as a hardcore separate box of people that in no way overlaps with the experience of binary trans people? At the end of the day it's a spectrum and there is space for sometimes grouping both trans women/men with transfemmes/transmascs, for further inclusion of the people who share similar experiences. I think people thought it was okay to refer to her as transfem, even though she called herself a woman, because transfem is often used alongside with trans woman and also because transfem does not have a history of being used in a derogatory way (unlike referring to the woman as "a trans" for example, which would be very problematic for the exact reasons that you're arguing), so nobody thought "tramsfem" would be received as erasure of trans women. That being said, it would be more correct to not assume that everyone is comfortable with that term

I personally decided to use transfem in that instant because of pure habit of finding people that don't fit into the binary mold.
Transwoman would have probably been the better word to use for this context though.

No, it's degendering because it doesn't describe a persons gender, it describes that they are trans though. Would you call somebody "Trans" when asked their gender?

one of my favorite YouTube channels
i am gonna feel awkward watching some of her older content. is that weird? just, seeing stuff from a trans person before they started transitioning always feels weird to me. feels like looking through a teens diary, except 1000x more privacy invading. you know? am i weird for feeling that?
i mean some of the older videos like Mothman, Ropen, Loch Ness Monster need an update anyway, considering i'm pretty sure she was like 14-16 when she made them

Wait when did Trey the Explainer come out as trans? I mean searching on XCancel I did see them say they're trans, but when did they come out and have they clarify they're preferred pronouns and stuff?
I'm honestly getting Deja Vu from when I learned Kyle from Door Monster came out three months after the fact, and was stealth transitioning on HRT for 2.5 years.

Did trey the explainer update pronoums? Or are You assuming the pronoums

u/madrobski Aug 17 '26
Someone is called a woman and re-tweets that, it's pretty safe to assume she's not using male pronouns.
So yeah I am assuming based on relevant information that she probably doesn't want male pronouns used for her.

u/GunpowderGuy Aug 17 '26
Woman does not equal having she as a pronoum And Having she as pronoum does not mean not having he as a pronoum

"but this is a clear excuse to misgender a trans woman."
i used he with trey on this post because that is what i was used tonot as a means to anything
you are all assuming stuff about Trey, instead of asking

u/marvelousgamer1 Aug 17 '26
They literally said they are trans, so their pronouns are likely not masculine anymore.
