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

I guess its because the female experience is statistically more desirable and so fewer women want to emulate the other sex. Just my opinion, dont mean to offend anyone.

Nah . . . that's not it.

I think a lot of FtoM can blend in to society more than a 6"3" man in a skirt, just think about it, cut thier hair throw on any male attar and they are there, may get a glance but thats about it as far as crossdressing, now going even farther like transgendered, well I think the FtoM can explain that better than me.

You are very wise, Red!

No offense, but... Why would anyone want to be a man. Jeans & T-shirt, suit & tie. The only colorful things for a man are ties, tees, and boxers. And the shoes....... Black or brown. How drab indeed. I need colorful clothes.

I could explain to you why someone would want to be a man, but that might take all night - how much time you got? BTW, I have colorful male clothes and a suit & tie has the same effect on me that frilly stuff has on some of you girls.

Because men are nasty, smelly, and gross. Women are beautiful.

I agree that women are beautiful, but (trust me on this) men are HOT!

I agree that I think crossdressing is more commonplace amongst women anyway, so many probably wouldn't actually label themselves as such. Most women nowadays (sadly) wear trousers on a daily basis, are free to sport short hair styles, and as such wouldn't even consider joining a support group for it.

Very good, Kate.

To some extent a cross-dresser in the eyes of people of people with that mentality is taking the clothes of a "lesser being" or somehow it is viewed as "demeaning" when men dress in "women's clothes" but not when women dress in "men's clothes."

I agree on this point, but . . .

No one presumes that a cross-dressing woman must be a lesbian

. . . guess again!

Actually there are several reasons - most of them covered well here. The bottom line, in my opinion, is that there are plenty of women who would rather not wear skirts, heels, make-up, long hair, etc., but they're not considered FtM until they start to question themselves and come to realize they may have a male side to their personality (even if they also have a female side). Conversely, an MtF (whether CD or TS) will immediately be crossdressing as soon as they don any female attire.

As to why there less FtMs here (or anywhere else for that matter), it's basically because even we don't generally know that there are other people out there like us and don't know where to go for support since places like this one are very hard to find.
