QT: What accounts for the following discrepancies (regarding sex ratios, sexualities, ASD & lots more sex ratios)?

submitted by SnowAssMan from self.GCdebatesQT

1) Trans-womxyn used to outnumber trans-men for decades, now trans-men outnumber trans-women: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/jsm.12817

2) Homosexuality is overrepresented in the trans population. Also same-sex attractive (gynaephilia) is higher among trans-men than same sex attraction (androphilia) is among trans-womxyn: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/jsm.12817

3) Sex ratio in the detransitioned population 3:1 female: https://www.reddit.com/r/detrans/comments/amuyg2/first_round_of_results_for_the_subreddit_survey/ https://www.reddit.com/r/detrans/comments/azj8xd/subreddit_survey_update/

4) ASD is overrepresented in the trans population https://arro.anglia.ac.uk/704433/6/Stagg_2019.pdf

5a) What accounts for the overrepresentation of the female sex within both the binary & non-binary populations: “A significantly greater proportion of binary participants were assigned a female sex at birth (AFAB) compared to nonbinary participants (82.3% AFAB vs. 67.5% AFAB)” https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/trgh.2018.0068

5b) 80% of non-binary people are members of the female sex: “Of those who were non-binary, 80% had female on their original birth certificate, and 20% had male on their original birth certificate” https://transequality.org/sites/default/files/docs/usts/USTS-Full-Report-Dec17.pdf

6) 1 in 50 male prisoners identify as women, that’s a higher percentage than in the general population: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/07/09/one-50-prisoners-identify-transsexual-first-figures-show-amid/

7) Why do trans-womxyn outnumber trans-men in prison? 129 trans-women vs. 32 trans-men – shouldn’t the ratio be the reverse?: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/848759/hmpps-offender-equalities-2018-19.pdf

8) Why is the female sex, regardless of how they identify, more likely to report having attempted suicide than the male sex? General population for comparison: “Females attempt suicide 3x’s as often as males” https://save.org/about-suicide/suicide-facts/ Vs. when they are trans: “Female to male adolescents reported the highest rate of attempted suicide (50.8%), followed by adolescents who identified as not exclusively male or female (41.8%), male to female adolescents (29.9%)” https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/142/4/e20174218?sso=1&sso_redirect_count=1&nfstatus=401&nftoken=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000&nfstatusdescription=ERROR%3a+No+local+token

EDIT:

9) 84% of trans people with HIV are trans-womxyn, likewise men are infected with HIV 5x more often than women: https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/group/gender/transgender/index.html https://www.hiv.gov/hiv-basics/overview/data-and-trends/statistics

Not QT, but I am trans. It’s a lot. When I read things like this is just shows to me that like the “gender essence” narrative or the idea the TW have female brains or vice-versa don’t make sense. Even there is like a true transsexual that exists then is still seems like the majority of people identifying as trans aren’t that because if they were they’d be more like their identified sex. I feel like society, culture, social media, etc. is like a big part of what is happening now.

This all just points to differences in behavior that are due to sex. No matter how someone identifies, they are still their birth sex and will still behave like their birth sex even when they think they are being presenting as the opposite gender. Men are more likely to be violent, likely due to a mix of both socialization & male biology, no matter how they identify. Women are more influenced by what their peers are doing. Hormones and surgery done later in life cannot undo socialization or the effect of hormones on brain development. Even when puberty is stopped (which is a terrible idea), there was still the effect of hormones on fetal development.

This. So much this.

Here are the responses I received on r/FTMMen while the mods were otherwise indisposed (I'm now blocked surprise, surprise), nothing of substance:

Here are the responses I got after posing the same questions to the members of r/ask_transgender:

Omfg I’m gonna start saying “I don’t identify as a terf” from now on. Brilliant.

Also, the “citation needed” when someone said TWAW 😂

I see no answers there at all, only blaming that it is TERF thing to ask.

And then people saying "TERF is not a slur". It is. People just throw that word and can ignore anything, any criticism, any real complains, any real problems. It is same like saying "that person is nazi, we should ignore all they're saying".
