Trans women significantly outnumber trans men, and nonbinary females significantly outnumber nonbinary males. In these groups, people born male seem much more interested in a solid female identity, whereas people born female are more interested in an ambiguous one. 1/

afaik this used to be true but is now not true, there are a lot more ftms transitioning than mtfs. it varies a lot depending on culture and the corner of the internet. it changed quite a lot recently, from like maybe 3:1 mtf to 3:1 ftm. 🤷🏻‍♀️ my theory was the misgynistic society

ican’t know for sure but i’m guessing the degree of discrimination and visibility is a lot harder for transwomen than transmen, which enhances into the desire for a solid female identity. transmen post T have a lot easier time passing all impressions are distorted by passing...

non-conforming is much more tolerated in women (tomboys, butch, etc.) than it is in men. AFAB have more experience pushing gender boundaries before transitioning; they have less difficulty explaining NB identities to other people; and their likely partners are more tolerant of it

In part because they get cultural cachet simply for being a woman or nonbinary or whatever so you get points for cheap. If you want to get unfair dude points you have to "get into the room where it happens". Nobody gives a shit about a mediocre dude

Despite all the hand waving, none of this develops w/o supporting underlying biology, altered developmental exposure/response to sec steroids. And that's asymmetrical.
