Full origin of MTF →Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between MTF and FTM?
MTF stands for male-to-female and describes a trans woman — someone assigned male at birth who lives as a woman. FTM stands for female-to-male and describes a trans man, assigned female at birth and living as a man.
Is MTF still the preferred term?
It is understood everywhere but is increasingly seen as dated, because it defines someone by a starting point rather than by who they are. 'Trans woman' or 'transfeminine' is the safer choice unless the person uses MTF themselves.
