It makes me sad when I see people in community describing themselves as a "transwomen" instead of trans women.

It's a word made up by TERFs and other transphobes to differentiate between cis or as they would say,

'phobic language
"normal"
women, and transgender women.

"Trans" is short for transgender, an adjective modifying the noun "women." Hence, it should be two words, trans women. Same as tall woman or short woman, not tallwoman or shortwoman.

Who cares my past, my agab, deadname and such. My goal is to be woman, just woman, girl, lady, miss, chick, bitchqueen, mistress... oh... We all are women (or uncracked eggs, not pushing anyone into anything).

Trans, is a path, not the destination.

*This still stand even for some nb and fluids and alike folks, swapping between old and new is the path, not the goal - be self is the goal.
