It's kind of amazing how transmen never seem to have a space in most transtrenders activism. One of the most famous trans murders was of a transman, and it's not like they're also not at risk of violence. But no one really ever talks about them.It's just speculation on my part, but I think the whole thing about trans women get murdering more comes from a combo of:
- MTF is much easier to clock as a dude in a dress, vs FTM looking like a butch lesbian or a tomboy
- it's the autogynephile MTF Yanivs that tend to be the creepy Buffalo Bill types that inspire gay panic murders and shit, FTMs are more likely to just cruising around doing their thing (or larping as soft uwu yaoi boyzzzz on tumblr) and are generally less real world offensive
- a lot more MTF prostitutes than FTM, which I think is where a lot of the murder stats come from
But on topic, Stapphy only mentions the MIRDER OF BILLIONS OF TRANS WOMEN OF COLORRRRR because trans women are the only ones it's trendy to pretend to give a shit about.
Honestly, the whole of the trans movement tends to be pretty anti-biowoman, which I would say is why transmen aren't focused on at all. That, and having been raised female rather than male, they also tend to sperg out less and cry for attention far less than MTF.
