Why aren't FtMs more represented? Everyone always just wants to talk about trans women - why is that?

Trans women are more likely to be victims of assault and more likely to suicide, so I think it's good.
Also Mtfs are more of a cultural taboo, something to gawk at for media consumers.

I imagine that FTMs would disagree.
>>5461749
They wouldn't... Barely any ftms experience violence, and I don't think there's any registered hate crime murders of ftms... While mtfs make up for the majority of hate crime murder victims of all of LGBT.
Suicide rate is maybe debetable, I imagine they're very similar.

People dont realise ftms exist since they pass so well.

> I don't think there's any registered hate crime murders of ftms
I mean in recent times.
There's maybe one every few years.

Ftms have the higher suicide rate

>"The study found that the rate for suicide attempts in the general US adult population is about 4.6%. In transgender people, the attempted suicide rate is 41%. Trans men have a 46% rate of attempted suicide while trans women are not far behind at 41%.Feb 7, 2014

Didn't know that, I stand corrected.
MtFs are more likely to be assaulted though, also to go into sex work and are less likely to have normal careers.
As an Mtf it does bother me that ftms don't get as much attention as us, and there's definitely some misogyny there (i.e. if you're born as female, your problems are less important).
When your raised as male, you are taught from an early age that it's okay to be outspoken, to be dominating and to be aggressive, whereas the opposite is true for females. I suspect that factors in too.
