I've got my own takes on this, but I'm curious about y'all's.

Oh yeah for sure, I'm sorry if it seemed like I was downplaying or dismissing FTM issues that are evidently there. I just often see a difference in the types of discrimination as well as the magnitude that MTFs face typically. Perhaps that also has to do with hearing about MTFs more frequently though and I'm calling a symptom the cause? Unsure.

Wasn't aware FTMs had male chasers as well though, that's ass

I see trans discrimination and problems we face as a venn diagram, a lot of things overlap, though they may take slightly different forms.

I wouldn't say either has it objectively worse. It's similar in some ways, different in others.
