I absolutely think a lot (most? nearly all?) trans people are trans because of default brain wiring or something, but I wonder what percentage are MtF cause they felt like they could never be a successful man, and because there's a clear community/path to acceptance for trans ppl

Not that trans people have automatic community, especially in certain areas of the world, but that there is some visible and clear narrative around being a successful, accepted trans person that might appear to be more easily achievable than being a successful man, for some.

No. I said community/acceptance; trans people strongly support each other, providing a place of insular approval. This is really great, and this is what I'm referring to.

There's a lot of successful masculinities, and most men have a plethora of narratives to choose from - this shows up in research on their responses to objectification for example. You're behind the times here, thinking in terms of unitary masculinity instead of "masculinities".
