How come we never see any "OMG I WISH I WAS A MANNNN" shitposts from trans men? Statistically it should be the same number, right?

There's no reason to expect symmetry in gender dysphoria experienced by AMAB and AFAB bodies. There are no strong evolutionary pressures creating that symmetry. I've seen surveys in the U.S. reporting ratios upward of 6:1 transgender women to transgender men.

Curiously, I've seen a survey in Canada reporting the exact opposite.

Ey, Canada included Q's for gender identity in their 2021 census, nice! It does look closer to symmetry across their whole population.

Among the 59,460 transgender people, there were more transgender women (31,555) than transgender men (27,905).
