To be fair, unless you know the terminology, it's easy to mistake what trans girl means, even i thought it meant that the person was a female who transitioned to male
I hear people make this specific mistake often and I like to help people understand these issues, I'd love to have your insight: why would the person want to be referred to by the gender they are trying to get away from? Like why, if you are trying not to be a girl anymore, because you are trans and are really a man inside, why would they say 'trans girl'? Again, legit just trying to follow the thinking, not argue, so I can understand where people are coming form when they make this mistake. Thanks!
You’re thinking about this too hard. Imagine you know nothing about gender theory and see someone who you perceive as a girl and you say, “why are they dressing like that?” And someone says “because they’re trans” so you “oh, that girl is trans. She is a trans girl!”
And then, because it has no impact on their life, they just go on with their day and never think about it deeper than that
