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

    Less drama I’d say. Women get sexualized, while men don’t as much, so if you go from male presenting to female presenting that’s an increase of sexualization. “More sex? Outrageous. What happened to those good old family values?” the conservatives cry. But going from female presenting to masculine presenting is a decrease, with clothes that are practical and cover up skin. It’s not as easy to make a story about the “fall of civilization” from that. “Women all across the country wear flannel shirts instead of skimpy belly-free outfits” really doesn’t have the same ring to it.

    I think there should be a lot more representation, but maybe it’s not that bad they don’t get mentioned specifically by conservative news?
