Hi Guys!
I'm involved with some often heated arguments with a quite transphobic 2nd wave feminist who calls Transgender a 'men's movement' and a lot of rather nasty stuff amid the comments of what I consider a rather fine blog.
When I asked her how FtM's fit in with her notions that transgender is a 'men's movement' she said:

They are not the dominant thinkers, movers and shakers in the movement.
From what I have read, you never hear from the FTM and you don't hear much in the way of ideology coming from them.
Who do you hear about but Stanton(?) one rarely ever hears about Bob the FTM.
Well that has me thinking. I wanted to ask you guys what you think about this. Are Female to Male men underrepresented amongst the thinkers, commentators, advocates and activists in the transgender community? If so why is that? If not why do many think that it is so?
