Those who identify as trans men get a lot less positive press/focus, but they also receive less backlash from feminists or conservatives. The main concern over them is that they may become victims of ideology, rather than that they may victimize others, which reduces the rhetorical volume.

The media doesn't know how to respond to feminists'/others' concerns about what this means for young lesbians, tomboys, or any other teen girls who are not fully comfortable in their own skin. Usually this is barely addressed and then the pivot is to TWAW. This focus may be harder to deflect.
