Genuinely thank you for explaining! I think I can speak for a lot when I say please explain your reasoning if you ask again! Given the current political climate, it raises a lot of red flags when people start asking gender assigned at birth questions, imo. If you’re doing research, clarify that in the future - I think a lot more people will be a little less guarded. Sorry I was so bitchy in my post 😭💗
I think there’s an equal distribution of amab enbies and afab enbies BUT that toxic masculinity and societal expectations make it a lot harder for amabs to come out or even to realize that they’re nb. Same thing where bisexuality is more common in afabs than in amabs - not actually more likely, but more socially accepted and therefore more expressed and recognized
There’s also something to be said about the position of power being lost when an amab comes out as nb. The difference in privilege between a cis man and a trans person is much greater than between a cis woman and a trans person. As an afab nb, I didn’t lose much social standing by coming out because I was already seen as lesser
