The only thing I find complicated is when I read about someone such as in a news article and I see the phrase trans man/woman and my brain is like ok so which one are they identifying as? My brain has trouble parsing out if that means they were that gender or are that gender now, I think it means that's what they are now? My best friend is non-binary so I honestly don't spend a ton of time thinking about it. They are just who they are but I certainly could go for an explanations so as to not be an ass by accident.
Trans man: F -> M
Trans woman: M -> F
As long as you're willing to learn and do your best no one will fault you for getting confused sometimes don't worry :3
Thank you very much, as an aging cis hetero millennial I try to keep up.
"Trans(itioned to) Man" is how I think about it.
