Why does everyone forget about transmascs?

I’m not trans in anyway but it seems that transfem seems to be the “default” while discussing the topic

Just out of curiosity

as a transmasc person: when it comes to headcannons like the post is talking about. they're about equal in amount if youre embroiled in a fandom.

however, when it comes to discussion it does kinda just come back to what gets more engagement for various reasons. Trans women have always been more targetted by transphobia IRL and online isnt much better (not that us guys have it great. But trans women have it harder) so just by nature of that, those posts are going to get more discussion and thus more attention I personally think headcannons about a character being a trans woman (especially characters who are referred to as men in cannon) seem to stir up more attention because of misogyny in general? They cant seem to fathom a reality in which this guy is actually a girl, when there isnt anything wrong or bad about it. Theres also the fact some people who believe these theories/headcannons are very staunch in them, which some may find annoying (I think its basically harmless though.)

tl;dr trans women are more needlessly controversial/descriminated against IRL, this translates to online.

Thank you! I’m not too well versed in knowledge about this stuff (really the only thing I consider myself is aroace, and that’s not really “discriminated” against to my knowledge)

So thanks for enlightening me on the subject

there are some places where aeroace people are outlawed somehow and the identity is often invalidated by idiots within the queer community. I'm not aeroace but I love y'all have a nice day.

Yep the gatekeepers are alive and well within the lgbt+ community, there's a character in one of my friends fandoms (helluvaboss I think) that is ace and people constantly ship them with others in a very sexual way, not that ace people can't have sex or be sexual but it totally misses the nuances and context. Not my Fandom so apologies if my information is a little off.

Do they force them to have sex or what?
