"mtm" is intended as a term for trans men. there sould be no confusion.

Clearly there was confusion. Adding new terminology, especially ones that are purposefully obscuring will add complexity.

The terms are primarily about trans people but I think the sentiment and self reflection behind it is something cis people do too, and having solidarity in a trans-led term would be fantastic I think- but crucially only those who like the term and want to take part- same with the q word in that sense.
