your understanding is correct, when we say trans {gender} we mean the gender we are now, not what we thought we were
think of it like this: why would we want to refer to ourselves by what we thought we were instead of what we are? why would we, for example, call ourselves “former men” instead of women?
sorry if my explanation is a bit confusing, but in short, yes trans woman means MTF and trans man means FTM 😅
That makes sense, I just thought it was interesting that the pay gap was for transgender women. I wonder if the same applies to both non passing trans women and passing trans women?
