thats not what a trans man is winter but i think you probably know that

To be fair, the term "trans man" could conceivably mean "born a man, but then became trans" without being inconsistent with regular English. That it means the opposite of that is relatively arbitrary and therefore easy to get confused by for those that aren't regularly exposed to the concepts and language. Heck, I do know better, but I still interpreted this topic the wrong way around on the first pass (presumably because talking about phantom pain made me immediately think of amputations and subconsciously assume that was the issue at hand).

That's not to say that there aren't people that deliberately misinterpret it for trolling purposes, but I'm generally pretty sympathetic to people being confused by the terminology.
