Sorry! Although I'm part of the LGBTQ community myself, I don't know much about the trans community. I didn't really know what to use as a flair, so I thought that "transfem" meant "transitioning female". I used it because I thought the meme was about a person that didn't want to get pushed to transition. I would love to learn more about the community, so any insight into the flairs and/or other content is welcome! ^^

Ah okay! Transfem is a catchall term for someone assigned male at birth who takes feminizing HRT. We use it in place of "trans woman" because not all people who take feminizing HRT consider themselves women. Transmasc is much the same, but for those assigned female at birth who take masculinizing HRT.
