I'm going to be honest here, I think you're using a hell of a lot of confirmation bias. Cis men enjoy slash, plenty of cis men are into social justice stuff, and typing a certain way/holding a certain view....holy shit is that starting to reach like hell.

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you're getting pretty much 100% of your confirmation bias from tumblr. Tumblr is overwhelmingly AFAB, so yeah, you're going to get plenty of trans men on there.

Go to Reddit, 4chan, Voat, or any other internet hub, and you'll find all the same exact shit, except it's overwhelmingly cis men. Over on /r/Feminists 99% of the guys there are cis dudes (which you can figure out pretty easily when the guy posts something about his penis or prostate in another one of the subreddit and doesn't interact with the trans subreddits at all.) I remember one time on /y/ (the yaoi board) they had a poll and it was like 75% cis men swapping yaoi pics.

I don't know about Reddit but I don't think you can really get reliable demographic information from 4chan. It's like a reverse mmo. All the girls are pretending to be guys, except on /cgl/ and to a lesser extent /lgbt/. I've been there for over a decade now and I don't think I've mentioned my true gender once (except on /cgl/...) because it's not worth the shit you get for it.

You're right that I'm getting a lot of it from tumblr, though. That's a good point.

Reddit's demographics are like ridiculously AMAB dominated. The trans men over in /r/asktransgender have actually made several subreddit-disrupting (in a good way, good for them, I can see what they were talking about, but it definitely pissed a lot of the trans women off lol) threads about how Reddit is almost entirely AMAB so of course the ratio of trans women to trans men is much higher, but that's not an excuse in a safe space (the subreddit) for being exclusionary.

But yeah seriously, if you hang out on tumblr that's exactly what's happening. It's a confirmation bias loop that ultimately doesn't mean much when applied to the general trans population. If you hung out on Reddit you would think the exact opposite, you'd probably start having a million stereotypes about trans women once you observed similarities in background or trends amongst the ladies there. ("As soon as I hear a girl is an engineer or programmer I immediately wonder if she's trans." <--Actual stereotype.)
