      I think this is a form of misogyny. FtM aren’t taken seriously because they’re seen as confused women

        I think its specifically the “women are precious and fragile and need to be protected” form of misogyny, since it explains both hatred towards MtF and the ignoring of FtM

        ::: spolier cw transphobia As you said, FtM folks are disregarded as confused and mistaken and needing help, needing saving from “gender ideology” and MtF folks are predators, attacking women in bathrooms, and the women must be protected from them. :::

          You need the content to be on separate lines from the start tag and the end tag, like so:

          You’re spot on otherwise

      My personal theory on this (with absolutely no negativity directed at anyone at all, and a willingness to be shown I’m wrong) is that FtM pass unnoticed more easily in many scenarios.

        I suspect you’re correct. I’m super jealous as MTF, just on the part of male puberty naturally deepening the voice, wish it worked the other way too.

        Makes sense. A women wearing pants is pretty par for the course and anyone else they’d just call a butch lesbian and, more or less, move on.
