>whenever someone tries to portray trans as good they use a ftm
>whenever someone tried to portray trans as bad they use a mtf
what does the world mean by this?
1) MtFs are cunts way too often?
2) Cis people tend to forget FtMs exist, and most of their anti-trans arguments are BTFO by the existence of trans guys.

Men are seen as smarter. The subcocious says that person is going to 'bring home the bacon' or do something useful. Mtf are seen as either gay (read: stupid) or feminine (vapid, weak 'stupid'). So they are subcutaneously thought to just be a dumb bitch.

Because mtf's are far more likely to be ugly and terrifying, while unpassing ftm's still look like cute tomboys. So they're limited to mtf when they need examples of ugly trannies.

Society hates passing MtFs for gaining inherent value/female privilege in daily life without having a womb to justify it.

Where is there a version of Mulan with a male lead?
Dressing as or living as the opposite gender is only cool/awesome/heroic when afabs do it.
A lot of trans guys my age LOVE Mulan, but trans girls my age had...idk nothing that portrayed a similar concept of a guy dressing as a girl in a positive light.

um Ill have you know in that exact same film they had men dress as women and it was definitely not played as a joke or completely hypocritical
>>8586303
its 50x easier to find a passable ftm than an mtf?
Cause youre not going to portray trans as good if you use someone who doesnt pass

>Cause youre not going to portray trans as good if you use someone who doesnt pass
There have been a few portrayals of trans people in positive light with an unpassing trans woman. One of the best is probably "Her Story".

The only time I can think of this happening is the L Word, and everyone thought he was gross once he started transitioning.
