Well haven't heard of trans men raping males in prisons or beating sport records so it is mostly just gay guys who are getting annoyed with ftm who insist they are twinks.

Trans women however are the ones winning shit over real women (including political positions) and that is much more of a treat than a bunch of little girls mutilating themselves. To be frank, they do that anyway.

Now, I CARE about ftm because I have a kid who is a tomboy like me. I feel it was always a little more acceptable to be a masculine woman than a feminine man.

Men also tend to be more dominant and violent so when they throw shit and piss to be able to get into the ladies' room we take notice!

To be frank, they do that anyway.

The number of FtMs I've seen with massive self harm scars all down their arms or along their stomach is astounding. How people can't see the mastectomies are just an extension of that self harm is beyond me

Could also be that they are really susceptible to social contagion as self-harm and eating disorders are both examples of social contagions. Self-harm wasn’t a thing until the awareness campaigns started in teen magazines, similarly eating disorders absolutely rocketed when the media started “raising awareness”, researchers have actually tracked the spread of bulimia and using a toothbrush to provoke vomiting through articles in magazines.

There is some evidence that large groups of teenage girls are highly susceptible to mass hysteria/social contagion. The things you listed, there was a town not too long ago where most of the teen girls all "got" Tourettes. Mass hysteria around boy bands going back to The Beetles (not that I'm calling them a boy band). And even events like the Salem witch trials, were at least partially fuelled by what could have been this type of group hysteria in the teen girls who supposedly saw the witches.

I've heard a case or two of FtMs committing rape-by-deception against other women. But they don't cause nearly as much trouble on the whole.

Fair enough! This does happen and it is a big deal too but it doesn't result in pregnancy (without lots of planning I guess) In the current climate that is an important distinction to make! Trans men are still vunerable to forced pregnancy and trans women aren't, they can cause forced pregnancy.
