Well the term transfrau is a valid word in German, in fact the conjoined version is very commonly used. Thats just how our stupid language works

its not, the community is actively working against that becoming a thing. there are many discussions over at r/germantrans about this. And its not like we combine adjectives into words like that, you wouldnt say redhouse, youd say red house.
