This is patently false[0]. (This is the largest population I could find)

The reason it looks this way is because Western culture has systemic oppositional sexism and views female gender roles as performative and artificial (the way our culture expects women to always be wearing makeup being one of many examples), subsequently trans women are far more salacious of a topic to the general public, whereas trans men are erased because our culture sees them as trying to pull themselves up by their bootstraps from a position of inferiority to a position of power. (That must be it right?!?)

If you’re interested I’d highly recommend the book “Whipping Girl” by Julia Serano.

That shows "referrals" of teenagers. Doesn't really mean anything about what actually happens. All teenagers are weird for a little while. It's great if you stay weird, but most don't.

It would be interesting to know what the actual transition numbers are, though. These are just referrals.

Page 44[0] documents a survey of trans people in the USA in 2015, with 31% identifying as trans men and 32% identifying as trans women (and 31% identifying as non-binary). (this is the most comprehensive document I've found on the topic thus far)
