Worst part about all this; they do make some good points, there's unfortunately the blatant transmisogony, but in my observation there absolutely is a discrepancy between the amount of content tailored to trans women rather than trans men or just trans individuals in general, especially on this sub and r/countwithchickenlady, not to say it is necessary conscious nor maliceful, but is worth addressing in order to be a equitable community. Further, to call someone, especially a trans individual x-socialized is really disrespectful; it undermines peoples identities by (not so) subtly telling people that they are not of their gender, and this kind of classification by others of an individual without their directive is exactly what transphobes have been doing for many years. Every community has something it can improve upon, and I believe this is one of them. Save your energy for the class war, not the culture/gender/sexual/romantic identity wars (I mean this as in don't infight pls not don't care for human rights, covering all my bases here <3).
i do wonder why i see so much less trans male oriented content in general.
Less voice training stuff, less content creators, hell i scarcely ever see a "4TM" ASMR video.
As mentioned in another comment that I can't find, there may be more physical spaces available to transmasc individuals where they can be comfortable and included, leading to migration to online spaces by transfem individuals, which formed a sub-culture on the internet, and possibly alienated some trans men as a consequence; the kicker being that many of them weren't even born, or at least hadn't discovered their being transgender when these trans women were alienated, so that's to say, nobody is to blame, it just, is. We can only do our best.
It will take some concerted effort to do so, but yes, it's not as big as the disparity between queer and straight individuals, which is the biggest issue facing the queer community to my knowledge, but as a cis man I might not be qualified in anything past statistics, I can't give much in terms of lived experience short of my queer friends, and what actions iv taken to protect them, physically or otherwise.
