This is a huge part of why I find language (English) and the lack of a cross-cultural approach to be so damn restrictive!

AtLast,
I can say that for me I am using the term TG to only refer to male/men/masculine because this thread is about the third gendered or other gendered butch and is not about transgenderism in general (or transgenderism at all in most of the posts I have seen).
