Re: Trans Men

(Anonymous) 2016-06-19 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
My personal thought on why trans men have more representation: mainstream society is more likely to view trans boys as tomboys or butch women - its seen as "a phase" and can be written off easier.

Trans women on the other hand, can't be written off so easily, so they are are seen as more "shocking" and "other" - so therefor more ripe for film fodder.

And I think all of that is born from unfortunate gender roles and sucks for both trans men and women. You have no idea how many people I've seen talking about Boys Don't Cry refer to the main character consistently as "she" or "a woman presenting as a man" - and on the flip side trans women are way more likely to be objectified and used for bigoted shock humor.

That is just my two cents though.
