I don't know any trans folk in real life that I'm aware of although this one gal who I grown up with and had as a 'GF' when really young was/is a tomboy. I'm not exactly sure if she went full trans or just stayed as a tomboy though.

I know more MtF over all, but it's harder to say how many of either I know (or have known) online vs offline.

Come to think of it, I only know transwomen. I assume that they're much more common or something. Granted, we're a generation of men raised by women so men are probably more prone to identity confusion issues.

tbh, a girl can be a tomboy and still be a girl. That's not really a trans issue.

I had to think about it for a second, but I definitely know more gay men than gay women. Probably at like a 7:1 rate or something. I'm not sure if it's because gay men have more identifiable traits or that I just don't pick up on lesbian traits... or maybe my area is just a haven for gay dudes. Then again, I'm assuming that there's an even gender-split when it comes to gays, which might not be the case.

Still trying to figure out the gender-split issue, but a Pew study turned up something interesting: LBGT individuals are less likely to be high earners than the general population:

http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2013/06/13/a-survey-of-lgbt-americans/

http://assets.pewresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2013/06/SDT-2013-06-LGBT-0-05.png

At any rate, a Guardian article seems to suggest that men are at least 1.5x more likely to be gay than women. By contrast, the old Kinsey number suggested 2:1.

Eh? Women have been the primary child-raising parent for most of human history. Men being raised by women definitely is not anything unique to this generation. If anything, that's less true now than for prior generations, as breadwinning mothers are becoming more and more common.

The expression Zeus used is somewhat euphemistic to refer to a generation of boys raised by women alone often in the near total absence (or outright rejection) of male guidance, and often in ways that attempted to socialize boys in the same ways as girls (particularly in the female dominated k-12 education system). Far from being the norm, this is closer to historically unprecedented.

Your poll questions are cancer so I didn't vote. I know one transgirl (whichever one is a dude trying to be a girl) and they were very annoying. Other than that, no experience.

I knew 2 guys in real life who wore dresses and wigs, but I'm not sure what was going on beneath their dresses, because, how do you even ask?! :-)

I'm aware of that. It's just a few year back I bumped into someone who I know from childhood and according to him she's now trans. Based on her facebook that could be the case but I haven't seen her in years so I wouldn't know. All I know from when I known her she was a tomboy and she looks like a guy now.

This, but I would also add that third-wave feminism has also meant that boys are taught to hate their masculinity and embrace more feminine traits.

Basically its "trans(gender identified as)".

Yeah, nobody in my circles really ever uses them. They also usually use trans girl and trans guy, with a space. Since 'trans' is a modifier on girl/guy.

I've always been curious how FtM works. I mean, MtF makes sense because cutting off the junk seems simple enough.
But for a girl to become a guy, where does the dick and balls come from? : S

I think a pump is used to mimic arousal.
There is no semen.
