I think transmasc communities are more frequent on eg Pinterest and Tumblr, but that’s a hunch.
Call me silly, but what if it’s 'cause of this:
Thar transfems appear more common because we want to be seen as gals, and so more overtly express it. And irl spaces are often more hostile toward us, so we tend to go online.
Whereas transmasc people - previous to coming out (be that to themselves or others) - tended to not frequent online as gals, because y’know, creeps. It’s also irl societally more accepted to wear trousers when you still look girlish, than a skirt when you still look guyish. So it’s easier to “camouflage”.
Oh, and also, a lot of the haters are stuck with the underlying wrong assumption that being a woman = becoming bottom, passive role. And that you then go down the social ladder, and so they look down upon it. Whereas becoming a man, is looked favourably upon. It’s sexism.
So, I think if you took IRL and online together, rates are probably more even. It’s just that due to underlying pre-existent sexism, many of us (regardless of gender) are forced to hide or to camouflage.
swift as a river, mysterious as the moon etc… ✨
