I've just been to a local theatre and after my return they offered me a satisfaction survey

On my form it offered the following options -are these correct descriptions as these seemed a little off.

Male
Female
Trans-female
Trans-male
Other

I am struggling to understand the terminology ( I identify as female btw) as I though it was not possible to be trans female or trans male.

Am I missing something here?

Non binary is such a wind up because all NB-identified people are all either male or female!
(Soz for off topic)

If I saw that I'd think "trans female" was a female transing to be a man and vice-versa.

I wouldn't register with Spotify right now if this sort of thing winds you up either because they've added a new option to their registration forms

Are you
Male
Female
Non-Binary

Errol I thought so, being 'woke' in a survey and not understanding the meanings of the terms.

Trans feminine, trans masculine works. Transwoman, transman is more usual terminology.
But humans can't change sex, so 'trans female' or 'trans male' is an impossibility.

Trans-female means born male, identifies/presents as female. As opposed to actually female. I think that's fair enough.

I get the feeling that there is some confusion

Goodness knows what they mean ...but that clearly implies they don't think trans-females are females
