I don’t know for sure if there’s more of one than the other, but I will say that ftm folks tend to hang out in different communities than here and Reddit. I find them on tumblr and Bluesky mostly, and especially art communities. I think because those communities are pretty friendly to afab folks exploring other sexualities and expressions, so it feels safe to come out as ftm there. Those communities are generally very supportive and open, I see binder safety advice, passing tips, or just general encouragement roll onto my feed completely unsolicited, and I just follow people for art.
i grew up on the internet. in my experience it has not been a safe space for feeeeemales. i lurk reddit & lemmy but let people assume whatever they want abt my gender. not being visible is kind of the point. protecting my peace.
