Why tons of M-to-F's and so few F-to-Ms?

[Kieron Andrew]

Sorry to jump in so late on this thread but this comments sparked a few thoughts for me. I work with a couple lesbians at my work ( though I think one may really be a FTM). I think because they all dress down, ( don't wear makeup, hair is scraggely..etc) they are automatically thought of as lesbians, though I know the one girl talks about having a penis once in a while.
I think for her it might be easier to just accept being a 'lesbian' than being a FTM, because everyone is ok with that. It's much easier to be in a territory that everyone has accepted for a while, than to try and branch out and announce I'm a FTM. I may be wrong about that but it's just my :2c:

Thats exactly what i did for years, everyone saw me as a lesbian........until one day, i found a support forum purely by accident 2 years ago, which was predominantly an mtf forum, at that time i didn't know any existed and up until recently didn't know ftm boards were out there until i came across this one
