I likely accidentally counted people twice or skipped someone, but regardless here’s a general idea of the makeup of our population from the sample size of the post I made.
Also, it shortened transmasculine/feminine nonbinary on the graph.
I typed in the value for cis women as zero, and it didn’t show up on the chart so keep that in mind.
whats interesting in that survey is that when referring to sex, it is basically an even distribution. so that means afabs are identifying in more diverse ways, as the sexes are basically even
That’s true. I was thinking of the ratio of binary trans men to trans women originally. I wonder if it’s because afabs are socially allowed more freedom from the binary and amabs feel like they have to conform more for safety and to avoid stigma.
that or maybe there is more stigma of being seen as a man in their minds?

this is more of something i heard from an enby friend, but they felt like masculinity was sort of toxic in their heads so they dont feel comfortable identifying that way even though theyre on T and stuff
Not sure if that’s more of a thing or not with transmascs. Seems to me like there’d be more stigma in identifying with feminity and/or womanhood as an amab because society prizes masculinity and sees it as the default and devalues and degrades feminity.
I’ve heard passing (especially straight) trans men say that they felt very unwelcome and excluded in irl queer communities. Maybe that’s a factor, who knows.
I’m just throwing out ideas. Could be that there’s no reason or a variety of reasons.
