Alright,  I  understand  the  reasoning  behind  that. I  don't  believe  that  femininity  is  equal  to  being  AFAB  (or  a  woman for  that  matter),  so  I  wouldn't  personally  say  that,  and also it would probably be more accurate to say masculine people but again, there's no label for that because I still don't romantically/sexually like AMABs : /.

I  know  I  could  technically  make  a  term  for  it  but  it  feels  pointless  creating  an  identity  label  that  nobody  else would  use  or  know  of  aha  and  yeah  tbh  I  think  it  could  fall  into  the  wrong  hands.

Lastly,  you  might  not  have  the  answer  to  or  want  to  answer  this,  but  since  you  have  been  respectful  to  me  I thought  I'd  ask:  you  mentioned  questioning  ingrained  transphobia-  how  does  somebody  do  that (especially  in regards  to  relationships)? Because  my  answer  from  the  pov  of  somebody  who  used  to  have  a  lot  (more) of  internalised  homophobia  (or  biphobia  or  whatever-phobia)  would  be  to  consume  more  media  with  trans  people  and  characters,  try  to  understand  their  experiences  and  feelings  etc  but  it  feels  like  nothing  has  really  helped. For the  record  it's  only  in  regards  to  trans  women  when  in  a  romantic/sexual  context  that  I  have  what  you've described  as  subconscious,  deeply  ingrained  transphobia.

If  it's  going  to  cause  harm  to  others  by  creating  a  label for  how  I  feel  than  I'd  rather  change  myself  to  fit  into  one  that  already  exists  than  be  a  jerk  or  have  no  named identity  and  community.
