I think most of the time I use it/consider using it its to describe hrt. I guess I have seen people use feminizing/masculinizing hrt but
I don't know. Probably better to banish it from my vocabulary altogether. Its just very convenient (I know this is an awful reason).
And yes I understand why you would find it offensive and inaccurate.
The thing is, it's not accurate for HRT, either. My estradiol gel is primarily used for menopausal cis women. Testosterone HRT is usually used by cis men. My blockers are mostly used to treat really bad cases of acne or as a treatment for prostate cancer. Gender affirming care isn't restricted to trans people, that's actually a total off-label use that isn't even mentioned on most packagings or entries in pharmacological libraries. And even if you want to describe a transition process, feminizing or masculinizing HRT achieves just that without centering the AGAB first.
For real itβs actually really frustrating how much hrt for trans people is put in a seperate category from hrt for cis people
