Why are unsure-trans FTMs likely to be transtrenders, and unsure-trans MTFs likely to be repressors?
Both lack confidence in their trans-ness, but for the former, dysphoria will actually leave (forever), whereas for the latter it'll only come back stronger?

Repressors are also trenders, their "forced" masculine act just makes other deluded fake trans believe that somehow they have intense GID.

How can they be trenders if they explicitly don't call themselves "trans" or "act LGBT" to get progressive brownie points?
>>8491662
Because female privilege means an AFAB is free to identify however she wants and she might well feel she'll get more rep by trans trending.
An AMAB on the other hand is forced to repress and will only come out as a last resort, after trying as far as possible to cope as a male.

So you're saying AFABs can get away with coming out as trans, since none of them are dorks and so it's not creepy, so no social cost?
Whereas AMABs can't, since if they feel even slightly masculine they'll feel like dorky predators, leading to gender OCD or repression?

Yes to the first part. It's not just no social cost, it's social gain, new labels to slap on your tumblr!
For AMABs it's more than just feeling fake themselves for their own masculinity, it's the knowledge of how badly AMABs are treated for deviating from their gender role.

so much this, females are allowed to do whatever they want and dress in male clothes, even butch dykes have it easy especially this century (wasnt like this in the 80s)
men are not allowed any gnc or selfexpression in most places in the world, you are subjected to bullying and homohate

Unsure trans-MtF's are unsure because they know they won't pass good and will probably be humiliated and never taken seriously for the rest of their lives. All FtM's pass super easily so if they're actually trans there's nothing to be unsure about.
>>8491662
Women have more leeway with gender role and their presentation. On top of that, being FtM is infinitely easier than being MtF.

You have to know their reasons for doubting. 'Ftm' fall for the meme because they feel like men have it better and life is easier as a gay boi. 'Mtf' "mostly" don't have a grass-is-greener outlook and repress out of shame or fear of passing. 'Ftm' seem to think it is more fun. I put them in quotes to represent trenders.
