With some migrations underway it's natural to use well established community names for discoverability, but it got me thinking how I've always disliked MtF as a community name since it feels dated and "medicalizing"....
Having googled some definitions, transfem is one of those terms that doesn’t have one clear definition whereas MtF has enough history to be fairly unambiguous. No matter what it would draw a slightly different venn diagram as a name. That isn’t a bad thing, just not sure what it looks like from an NB angle.
Yeah, this is the problem in that the definitions vary between "inclusive of trans women and NB" to "NB leaning on fem" and all the way to "any trans identity that wants to include feminity". In the end though it might not matter since more inclusive is better and CWs are encouraged anyway for touchy topics.
