It doesn't work in context for female characters who look like men,

The tvtrope term is usually referred to as Bifauxnen.

I thought otonako was also used by trans men(wandering son)
As an aside what badge would I get as a demi girl
Essentially trans girls are hurt
Finally about trap what actually happens when a t girl for whatever reason isn't open with their partner is violence there's a reason trans people face much more violence. So think next time you say trap

"Otokonoko", a word when written a certain way reads out as "male-daughter" and is a pun on a word that describes a young lady.

That's a little mixed up. The pun is on the totally normal word for boy, "otoko no ko" (男の子), literally "male child". Only here, you replace the "ko" (子) that means child with the "ko" (娘) that means girl. So "male girl".

That "girl" character (娘) can also mean "daughter", but when it's read as "musume", not "ko", so the "daughter" meaning is irrelevant.
