Just a note: It’s trans women, two words. Trans is an adjective not a prefix, we’re women that happen to be trans - Putting them together is often a dog whistle for hate groups
I’ve also heard the opposite, that separating the two words is separating them from the very idea that they’re inherently women, whereas conjoining them is making them whole. I suppose there’s still varying interpretations.
I’ve seen some folks refer to themselves as transfems, but I’ve only ever seen “trans women” because putting the two words together tries to make us sound like a separate thing. Funny that you’ve seen the same logic for the opposite.
But ultimately, “trans” is an adjective and a separate word. We don’t say “tallwomen” or “shortwomen” because tall and short are separate from the fact that they’re women.
I’m not arguing, I understand and appreciate your input. I am just telling you the idea that was conveyed to me by a trans woman that led me to putting them together in the past. I am not implying it is something new or that what you’re saying is wrong.
As a 40 year old unmarried and single dude I do follow some incredibly hot transwomen for fairly similar reasons. Whaddaya gonna do? I’m lonely.
Oh that’s why you’re the token cis dude on Blahaj. /s

Its not varying, trans is an adjective. They are women, they are also trans. Its not a new thing altogether, trans women are a type of woman.
