FTM

What Does FTM Mean?

FTM means "Female to Male" and "First-Time Mom."

Female-to-Male

The abbreviation "FTM" is most widely used with the meaning "Female-to-Male" to refer to a transgender person who is transitioning from being a woman to being a man. The transition may be social or physical (i.e., involving surgery and/or drugs).

FTM is the opposite of MTF (Male To female).

First-Time Mom

FTM also means "First-Time Mom." It is typically used in posts on parenting forums and in parenting related chats, to refer to a woman who is about to give birth to (or has recently given birth to) her first child. In this context, FTMs are usually the recipients of much support and love from the community, but can also be treated condescendingly.
