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.
