I’ve got my own takes on this, but I’m curious about y’all’s.

        I would imagine a large part of it being that the popularity of it is relatively new. https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/publications/trans-adults-united-states/ states that 1/5 are under 17.

        Another reason likely being that the general population of ftm is low, as mtf contrasted with ftm is 2:1.

        Another reason, as previously stated it makes certain demographics uncomfortable.

        And my own anecdotal experience, they aren’t super attention seeking. Just want to live life, not in a spotlight.

        Anyway just my thoughts. I’m just some moron on the internet.

          The ability for people to even BE “ftm” or “mtf” has only existed in what…the past 30 years or so? We didn’t have the knowledge to allow the transition medically until SUPER recently.

            Good point. Although there are lots of mentions of it happening with individuals with cross dressing, it just wasn’t an option. Also the fact there’s a really good chance of being murdered back then too.
