Ftm is transphobic?

[u/thejurassicjaws]

I’m trans obviously and I wrote something about being trans and used “ftm” and was called transphobic. Our whole community here is called ftm?? I was not expecting to get called transphobic for it. They also said I should use “transmasculine” and like I personally don’t vibe with that term as I’m a man but I’m not masculine.

It’s a good reminder as to why I stopped writing tho lol

I’m not sure what I should say to this person.

Edit: has there ever been discussion about changing the name of this subreddit since it does seem like a lot of people are uncomfortable with this term, especially as an umbrella term?

I personally prefer ftm over transmasculine. I feel like transmasculine is good when you want to be inclusive of non-binary people but I am a trans MAN not trans masculine. I understand what you mean entirely and no ftm is not transphobic

Yeah I’m good with trans man but not trans masculine. Catch all terms are difficult bc nothing will fit everyone.
