Transfeminine: Difference between revisions
Removed unsupported assertion; neither the survey nor the dictionary are authoritative on the assertions of binary trans people. Language is fluid, and respondents would have to choose the language a survey used. And dictionaries are circular references, following back to a wiki. Needs better references to be an umbrella term - non-femme binary trans women would find this insulting, asserting wither that they're feminine or that they're not women first.
