Probably should use something like StrawPoll for more dynamic results. Then again, if this is just for giggles it doesn't really matter and going by comments on a post is fine too.

Interesting result. While there is no evidence suggesting the general population is out of balance when it comes to ratios of transfemme vs transmasc identities, my observation is hat online expression is biased towards the feminine side of things. Your quick and dirty little survey would suggest the same.
Very curious if this is indeed the case and if so, what causes the bias. Do transmasculine identifying people just touch more grass? Does transfeminine content attract cis men to a larger degree than transmasc content attracts cis women? Therefore causing a bias in content delivery and by effect engagement? Or am I just suffering from confirmation bias and am I more likely to notice transfeminine stuff?
Feels like this sort of stuff could be a cool research project. And there's likely a buttload of data available just from regular posts.
And sorry to all of you enbies for focusing on the extremes of the spectrum. You're just a little more difficult to fit into these comparisons because your whole deal is defying categorization as either. I promise you are interesting too!
Alright, that settles it.
OP, we have questions!
Yeah that's a good point. That's what I would call intelligent design. Take that, creationists!
The "shouldn't" aspect is more directly applicable to different kinds of kinks or fetishes. Anyone who has experienced what the... uh [checks notes]... "fun button" has to offer will probably tell you that the whole situation is not a coincidence.
Or so I've heard... (they'll buy that, right?)
Pesky lemmings being persistent! :3
Honestly, I'm not sure if I'm missing anything I can't have by doing things differently. Guess it's mostly just a Schrödinger's gender identity situation. I might be happier after socially transitioning. I might be happier after medically transitioning. The only way to know for sure is to experience, and taking the plunge on any of this is scary for multiple reasons.
I'm willing to bet I'm not the only one in this "quantum trans superposition state", so I guess I'll just hang around here and read about some of your experiences.
I know for sure that I don't fit the template for someone born male, and I have known to varying degrees since I was eight years old. I have thought about transitioning before and the idea of it feels more comfortable to me than it probably does for most cis people. It's just that I'm being careful with decisions that might leave lasting effects (both socially and mentally) until I'm more sure they will make my life better.
Appreciate you taking the time to pick my brain about this stuff!
Hahah thanks for the advice! I'm not really worried about dating. I wasn't kidding about these qualities being endearing to me though. So I guess you can count that as proof that someone out there will like you for who you are?
Yeah, that doesn't sound like I'm hitting on strangers on the internet, right?
I get the feeling this is somehow going to get more facebook moms who somehow get their hands on these than it is going to get people on here. Which is still stupidly funny.
If anything it's going to be HRT. Too worried about complications and the definitive character of surgery for it to even be considered an option at this point.
Definitely in team sit.
It's more comfy. You're not staring at a wall, which is good for those who benefit from constant stimuli. There's no cleanup from splashes due to the larger height difference, surrounding area stays clean for longer. And as a bonus for some, it feels more feminine.
Drive them over a bumpy road and it all turns into a bunch of gravel.. err yeah.
Fair enough. Guess the moral of the story is don't piss off the creative mass murderer.
Ah so there is research suggesting the bias is real! Interesting, thanks for the link! Now I'm even more curious what could cause the difference.
