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

Yeah I'm not quite getting this.
Because of "butch" direction of this thread TG is being used in that masculine context
more often sure... in this conversation.
That was in no way represents TG as a whole.
When I said I don't use it because it tends to make some believe I feel male, that was meant in a butch related context only, that my being known as female bodied peeps assume when I label TG that I'm saying I'm male minded.
If I was male bodied and said it some peeps would automatically think I was saying I was female minded.
That's the prob for me... peeps wrapped up in an either or binary... not with the term TG... which
is a non binary term.
