Ok so what is the proper way to describe people taking hormones and getting surgeries due to "gender dysphoria". I know its impossible to change bio sex but the language confuses me and its clear to me that some of these individuals are distressed.

"Uwu-gendered female"

Anyway, you can still use "trans guy" (and I'm guessing because of your school you have no choice but to use it IRL) it's just that people here are getting sick of seeing these fake words we are using to refer to these people. You can try putting it in quotes if trying to make everyone happy is important to you.

Just say woman.

What some people say here is: "trans-identified female" instead of transman, and "trans-identified male" instead of transwoman.

It is not a big deal though, like others have said. I can't blame you dude, they are ramming stuff down your throat at school.

I completely agree that they are, even if they are perpetuating a lot of nonsense. I respect your compassion in the face of all this craziness, we could use more of it.

Your words are fine but it will cause some confusion with the general public who are not plugged into the TRA lingo.

Personally, I use "woman who thinks she's a man"/"man who thinks he's a woman".

Admittedly on the long side, and doesn't exactly roll off the tongue... but seems worth it for the accuracy (and not playing into TRA/gender-woo bullshit).

The best way to describe people is to be truthful.
