Transgender rates are up to like 10% right now because of how prevalent the topic is and how confused 99.9% of people are about it. What used to be true isn't going to be true anymore, most of those people are going to detransition, and then blame trans people for grooming them. We need to go back to the days when hardly anyone knew about trans people except trans people themselves. That would also help them pass better, and they wouldn't get nearly as much hate because their supposed allies wouldn't be ruining everything and passing draconian laws on their behalf and making them all look like a complete joke.

If 0.5% is like 10%

Shall we all grab a pitchfork and get as upset as we can based on this wild and free speculation?

An alternative would be to try to find some evidence.

That would also help them pass better,

For that you need timely treatment.

I won't break someone's denial if it's holding them back from crisis, but in my case I just can't buy lies like that. Treatment can maybe make you pass if you're FtM. And even then you're still disguising yourself more than actually getting to live the way you need to. The truth is we don't have a magic bullet.

Does timeliness make any difference if you're MtF?

Because if you get in before puberty, most people would say you'd at least pass better. You know. Because the shape of the hips, the shape of the shoulders, the density of facial hair, the changes to the voice, the difference in adult height. These are the things that get in the way of passing. And they predominantly differentiate between the sexes during puberty.

Because female puberty does nothing fundamental. You basically stay the same person. Male puberty dramatically changes every single aspect of you permanently, and they're mostly bad.

Girls change shape a lot. They get wide hips. They stop growing upwards as much.

They also grow boobs and get periods.

But I take your point that men get facial hair and hair on their limbs and their voice breaks on top of similar magnitude shape changes.

And testosterone makes them die in car crashes 5 times as much. FtM transexuals on testosterone complain that they want to go to the pub and start fights all the time.

FtM can do most of that though.

On the other hand a vagina is easier to make with surgery than a penis.

It's a lot more complicated than just making your genitals look like the other kind, or even if you could actually get the real thing. But that's still a better understanding than most TRAs these days have, which is that it's just a social construct and body parts shouldn't matter and transitioning is transphobic etc.
