The story arc starts with a male protagonist and ends when he achieves his goal of becoming a woman. And men's stories get more attention.

But this is of course a terrible way to tell the story. It's just a misunderstanding, not even really a story about a trans woman.

So I'm one of the people who views my own past as more of a transition narrative than "I was a woman all along"

But I think if the story *ends* with transition then it doesn't really feel to me like a woman's story.

that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying the media *treats* them—wrongly—as men becoming women.

I was actually discussing with an ftm friend of mine recently why mtfs are more common than ftms (1/?)
-
and it basically came down to gender roles and the relationship each has to traits of the other gender (2/?)

I can't decide which is worse: this, or the "crossdresses as a man/becomes a lesbian due to abuse at the hands of men" trope. Fuck me.
