Transmen who transition in adulthood

I just realised I only very rarely hear of adult women who transition to male in adulthood, compared to the many many men who transition to women. I'm thinking over age 25 or so.

And even less women who transition in their 40s, 50s, or 60s.

And yet, riddle me this, children's gender clinics are seeing a giant increase in girls identifying as trans compared to boys.

Tis a mystery to me. What is going on?

Adult women don’t have a sexual fetish for seeing themselves in mens undies. Autogynephelia seems to only affect men, but do correct me if I’m wrong.

As for the increase in girls indentifying as boys, could it be the effect of porn, the sexist culture we live in? Throw in some of those on the autistic spectrum and those who have been sexually abused so are rejecting their body, social contagion etc etc, it’s the perfect storm.

It's an important point because there are two disparate groups who decide to transition: middle aged men and teenage girls.

So on the face of it there are no links and the issues relating to the two are disparate - it requires analysis to try to figure out what is going on.

It is quite a mystery and nobody cares about this.
No academic research.
No one is interested.
No money to be made.

Nobody asks what do women feel about this.
Hence the M&S changing rooms fiasco.

There was a thread about this last year:

Yet the genderists are going after young women in larger numbers than anyone ever imagined.
I wonder why that is? Hmm
Older women know exactly how these young women are feeling.
