This is equal to the argument that there are much more MtF transsexuals than there are FtM, atleast on some level.
Some will say here that there is no such difference, that there are as much females as there are males that crossdress, and they will give you the next reasons:
- They go easily unnoticed because females wearing male clothes are much more accepted and overlooked.
- Since males are thought to tend to be more individual and less empathic, they are doing something else than spending time in forums. They equal this to FtM crossdressers as they would have male characteristics such as the ones mentioned, and thats why you don't see many arround here.
- Some will even dare say "Look at butch women!"
My opinion? I think crossdressers are mostly male because of a mix of being unable to dress like a woman and go unnoticed (hence why we think there are more crossdressers on the male side) and because there is a sexual component for many that there isn't in women it seems. So crossdressers are crudely divided this way:
- Sexually driven
- Emotionally, aesthetically or expression driven
- A mix of the above on many degrees.
In females crossdressing goes unnoticed and there does not seem to be a sexually driven variant or mix of FtM CDs.
