    Visibility paradox. Believe it or not, it’s about 50/50. Trans women are just more visible than trans men, and because of this, more likely to vocally reach out for help.

    It’s a reflection of patriarchy, unfortunately. But regardless, support your trans friends. It’s a hard thing to come to understand, and whether they want to wear a dress or grow a beard, they deserve your love and support.
