Examples of transgender males in male roles

Are there any examples of females that have transitioned into males holding male posts, accessing male spaces or entering male sports contexts etc as men?

I'm struggling to find examples.

Is this happening on the same scale the other way around?

I think the difference between trans men and trans women is quite interesting. Trans men seem to be engaged in living socially useful lives as a whole, science, military whatever. They seem to be content to just be. Trans women on the other hand seem to be in desperate need of validation, being a 'real' woman. That tends to mean a view of women as a 'performance' a demand for applause . They have a male view of what a woman is, trans men view men like women i.e. human.
This is a huge generalisation.

Er NO. The OP asked about transmen in men's roles. To quote: "Are there any examples of females that have transitioned into males holding male posts, accessing male spaces or entering male sports contexts etc as men?"

We then got an avalanche of example from WAKAME of transmen in jobs that have been and are done by men and women. Transmen don't take men's jobs.

I'm wondering what male roles or sporting spaces Chaz Bono has taken? They are famous and well known for being a trans man, but I don't think they've taken a position/role/job/place that would usually just be for men. I know they did a dancing TV show in the US but that was a mixed competition anyway.

Chris Mosier competed in triatholon as a female in 2009. Transitioned in 2010. He challenged IOC policy on transgender participation in 2015. This led to the change in the IOC guidelines. This enabled him to take part in the 2016 Duothalon championship in Avile in the male 35-39 AG sprint. He came 28th out of 47 finishers.
