to wonder why there are more transwomen as adults, but not so many boys doing ballet?

[allthgoodusernamesaretaken]

Genuine question, no intention to cause offence, but I wonder if anyone can explain this

I have the impression that more men transition to women than women transition to men.

However, when I look at friends' children, it seems there are lots of girls playing football (traditionally a male interest), but not many boys doing ballet (traditionally a female interest)

If I'm correct, why would it be that more girls are doing hobbies which were traditionally enjoyed by boys, and yet as adults, you get more men transitioning to women than the other way around?

My son is friends with a boy who loves ballet, the colour purple, and has long hair. People have started asking him if he is a girl, and whether they should use female pronouns for him . The poor kid has never expressed any unease with his male body, and yet because he is not conforming to regressive stereotypes, the 'woke' folk around him are now questioning if he is 'really' a boy

Ballet needs classes and expensive, special shoes.

Football needs a pair of trainers, which most kids already have, and a £5 ball between however many kids.
