>>8297nah, although your theory's implications would proxy my own "forbidden" theory. it is not that women make more money, or that men do not wish to be breadwinners, but that maleness is an entirely hollow and negative role nowadays. there is no real "Positive masculinity" as such because all positive traits are merely neutral, leaving behind only the traits nobody wants. As such, a man really has a limited set of options: to just kind of ignore this in a charming neurotypical way (where the sheer force of individual personality overcomes gender distinction), to just kind of ignore this in an autistic way. (where the sheer force of their special interests overcomes this distinction), to accept incidentally holding a purely negative role as part of their identity either in a depressive way or in an asshole way, to become non-binary but not really get any credit for it, or to transition.
the problem with any economic theory is that it implies trans women are retarded. now, this isn't unique to trans typology (what is blanchardism but the distinction between the intelligent pervert and the retarded homosexual?) but it's still a big barrier to overcome. even if cis women made more money with less responsibilities, it wouldn't follow that trans women have the same privilege. economic reality is that trans women mostly skew poorer, which is truly remarkable given the prominence of STEM-transwomen in well paid jobs.
now you could draw from this that the reason there are more trans-women is because masculine women experience less dysphoria as a baseline. you can be a tomboy, that is an actual recognized social category of womanhood, but being a sissy isn't really a thing outside fetishism and being a "tom-girl" is a coinage unique to chris chan. as a result, feminine AMABs are much more restricted in how they can express femininity without transitioning.
personally, however, i'm uncool and subscribe to the biological theory: because all foetuses start as female, some kind of hormonal fuckup in the womb triggers the "become masculine physically" flag without the "tell the baby it's a boy" flag, and that's why you get more mtfs than ftms.
>>8707oh, this is also true.
