Every. Damn. Time. I'm reading a parenting sub and someone posts about how they're FTM...and it takes me waaaaay too long to remember that in some circles, FTM is a first time mom. Oops. ::facepalm::

I remember being weirded out both by that and by cloth diaper being abbreviated as CD rather than meaning crossdresser
CD will always say compact disc to me, lol
I had no idea it was either of those things tbh, I know it as cooldown from MMOs
Same with ffs meaning for fuck sake and not facial feminization surgery.
I hang out in too many trans subs
I kind of want to know who had the acronym first. We get erased enough as it is and I'd probably actually fight for it even though I have work and the last thing I need to do is play keep-away with an acronym.
I feel like we had it first. I declare that its ours and first time moms can come up with something else.
I'm sure they're far more adept at putting their heads together and coming up with something appropriately cutesy, too.
Oh for sure. Maybe they can try Mom, The First. 🤣
Haha, I'm sure it would cause way less dysphoria for MTFs to run into that all the time!
god when i was looking for info on hysterectomies specific to trans men, this was the bane of my existence! sometimes i'd be reading some blog or forum for minutes, completely confused, before it would click.
Honestly its so fucking weird..........

I've had confused people ask me why the hell transgender stuff comes up under FTM and being utterly baffled and disgusted. Like hello, I'm right fucking here.
