Haha well it is actually a portmanteau of "Turbo" and "Thur", the name of a regionally significant river, or perhaps the canton of "Thurgau" named after the river. I think that's the association people in its service area will generally make.

absolutely, pretty much all the explanations i've seen were proposed by fellow transfems and/or presumed some kind of weird bias against transmascs (such as the classic "no afabs on the internet" or, worse, "transmascs are less oppressed than transfems and therefore don't rely on community as much"). obviously i can't immediately assume that necessarily holds true for all transmascs and can fully explain the phenomenon, but i would love to hear what you have to say (as a transmasc who presumably feels somewhat excluded from trans spaces) if you're willing to share - again, virtually all my personal interactions with transmascs have been with ones who don't feel this way and are as clueless as i am, so an opportunity to hear the "missing perspective" would be greatly appreciated :)
