Why are there so much more male to female trans-gendered than women becoming men?

Probably because men are driven by their sexual urges more than women are.

Confirmation Bias
Anecdotal Evidence

My experience has been the exact opposite of yours. And I live in gender-bending central.

My guess is that women are more tight-lipped about that matter than men. And they want to hide their gender orientation. They are afraid that changing their gender will give people the hint of their orientation, which they are trying to hide. And even when they do, they may not want to publicly announce it. So yeah, maybe there are trans-women out there you don’t know.

I would need to see the data on that; like @johnpowell that has not been my anecdotal experience. No point in speculating without hard, as it were, data.

As far as Thailand goes, that is potentially an exception because males posing as females is a lucrative sub-culture.

@kritiper and @Mimishu1995 As has been stated on here frequently, what gender you choose does not indicate who you prefer sexually.

Where are you getting y our numbers from?

@janbb ? I don’t get you. What does my opinion of men in general have to do with what gender of sexual partner I prefer?

@kritiper Being transgender has nothing to do with one’s “sexual urges” and has nothing to do with one’s partner. If someone is born with male anatomy and discovers she is female, she may prefer sexual partners who are men or women, or either, or neither. Gender and sexuality are two entirely separate issues.

@dappled_leaves You don’t understand the sex drive of men, do you? They have a live wire between their legs and no amount of male this or female that is going to make it change. Whatever their sexual preference, they want to do it!

@kritiper Terrific. What does that have to do with the question?

Well, why else but Female Privilege!

Seriously, when was the last time you went to a bar for “Men’s Night”? When was the last time you heard “Men and Children First!”?

If I were going to do that, I would also become a lesbian at the same time.

@CWOTUS Finally someone said it, a few of my friends and I were talking and this came up…. And also the fact that women are the most desirable and sought after….Not that women can’t pursue men but what you mentioned “female privilege”....

I’m going to not rant about how privileged women aren’t, and how “ladies night” is just a ploy to get predatory men into a bar to spend money on low business nights.

From what I’ve read, MtF srs to FtM srs is about a 3:1 ratio.
I’d imagine there is a direct correlation to the greater number of srs options available to MtF than FtM.

@Seek don’t worry, I will. :)

@CWOTUS @FlutherBug
“Women and children first” implies that ALL women are equally as weak as children, and both are lesser than ALL men. It doesn’t put women and children on a pedestal, it puts men on a pedestal. It implies that ALL men are more likely to survive risk of death or injury because they are stronger, smarter, faster, and more capable than ALL women or children.

Also, there is no need for mens night at bars, because every night is mens night. “Ladies night” was made by men, for men.

These are not indications of female privilege, but instead are examples of the systemic sexism that exists in society. They are equivalent to someone holding the door for you and spitting on you at the same time.

I don’t see how you can know that at all. There is not good scientific data. Not all transgender people (in fact many or most of them) are willing to identify themselves as such on any kind of official form or survey.

If anything, I feel that it’s not due to there being more mtf transitions, but they tend to receive the most attention in the media and at times for good reasons (like a proportionally RIDICULOUS number of hate crimes committed to them when compared to others within the LGBTQIA demographic). Affirmed males are generally more accepted by society as indicated by several studies such as one done in 2009 discussed in Doing Gender, Doing Heteronormativity: “Gender Normals,” Transgender People, and the Social Maintenance of Heterosexuality (that isn’t to say everything is peaches and sunshine, far from it, affirmed males are, in short, rather avoided by the heteronormative members of society i.e. most people as we do live pretty much in a world that puts heavy emphasis on heterosexual stereotypes in our day to day lives). Affirmed females on the other hand, well, aren’t. They see a higher rate of harassment in the workplace and so, a higher rate of unemployment (Social, psychological and economic challenges faced by transgender individuals and their significant others: Gaining insight through personal narratives, done in 2013), a higher rate of violence committed against them, higher rate of murders in said acts of violence (Doing Gender, Doing Heteronormativity article that I mentioned above), and what seems to be a higher rate of suicide/suicidal ideation/suicide attempts (I use “what seems” because while most studies I’ve gone over indicate that affirmed females have a higher rate of suicide and suicide related behaviors, a few have indicated the opposite with affirmed males having the higher rate) – the transgender community at large has already an alarmingly high rate of suicide as is.

I think your question is a good one (generally speaking) in an honest pursuit for knowledge. Assuming that you’re an open minded individual who cares for his or her fellow human being, I recommend you try to stop using the term “tranny” (as well as several others but I only noticed tranny in your elaboration. It’s offensive to the transgender population, although members of said population use it in the same manner as some African Americans will use the term nigger, or some women will use the term twat. If you aren’t a close friend or are a transgender individual/African American/female/etc. and you use it, it’s offensive. So like racial terms and whatnot, I’d suggest you remove it from your vocabulary.

Probably because of the default female x chromosomes. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK9967/
