Task: Instance Description Understanding (ontology: Sciences/Biology)

Which of the following definitions best describes the instance 'FTM'?

A. A non-transgender (cisgender) woman or girl. Note that this term has fallen out of use as it implies that transgender women have no biological basis for identifying as female.
B. A type of bribe used by American police departments against gay bars in the post-war era. Liquor laws prevented bars from knowingly selling alcoholic beverages to gay patrons, so police departments commonly demanded payoffs from gay bar owners as a way to prevent shutdowns and raids.
C. Short for "female-to-male" or "female-to-male transsexual" (rarely, "female-to-male transgender person"). Although the instance is preferred by some transgender men, it can be seen as implying that a transgender man was not always a man or as implying steps of medicalization as necessary for being transgender.
D. A nonprofit organization founded in 1920 "to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed to every person in this country by the Constitution and laws of the United States". Officially nonpartisan, the organization has been supported and criticized by liberal and conservative organizations alike. The ACLU works through litigation and lobbying and it has over 1,200,000 members and an annual budget of over $300 million. Local affiliates of the ACLU are active in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The ACLU provides legal assistance in cases when it considers civil liberties to be at risk. Legal support from the ACLU can take the form of direct legal representation or preparation of amicus curiae briefs expressing legal arguments when another law firm is already providing representation.

Answer: Short for "female-to-male" or "female-to-male transsexual" (rarely, "female-to-male transgender person"). Although the instance is preferred by some transgender men, it can be seen as implying that a transgender man was not always a man or as implying steps of medicalization as necessary for being transgender.
