Just had an odd thought. There are many sites like this one, although this is my favorite.

Sites like Fictionnmania do have F2M stories, these are rare though. Most sites involve M2F and men/boys dressing in female clothing.

Are there any site dedicated to women dressing as men?

I would suspect that the fact that women can wear men's clothes without anyone raising an eyebrow, would mean they would need to fantasize less.

Many of us male crossdressers want to appear female, surely that would make things just as difficult for women?

The ratio is estimated to be about 0.005% to 0.014% of people assigned male at birth and 0.002% to 0.003% of people assigned female at birth, suffer with gender dysphoria. So a lot more males want to be female. between 2 to 5 times more.

I wonder what the proportion is of male crossdressers to female crossdressers is.

I'm skeptical of those numbers

First of all, those numbers (0.005%, etc.) seem way too low. Lynn Conway et al. did a study based on the number of people getting M2F SRS, and came up with an estimate of the number of M2F transsexuals more like 0.3 % of the male population. Other surveys get numbers in the 0.1 % to 1% range.

And that's for M2F transsexuals -- people who transition (not necessarily with SRS.) I would assume that the number of cross-dressers (who don't transition) is at least that high.

Meanwhile, based on other surveys and my own observations at trans events, I'd say that the number of AFAB people who identify as male is comparable to the number of AMAB people who identify as male -- not exactly the same as transsexual, but I'd guess the numbers are similar. (BTW, according to the 2015 trans survey, the sizes of the M2F, F2M, and non-binary populations are similar, i.e., 1/3 were M2F, 1/3 were F2M, and 1/3 were non-binary.)

As Lynn Conway points out, the much lower figures were created back when the psychiatric profession was even more hostile to gender non-conforming behavior than it is now, and those numbers keep getting cited, despite the evidence that they're way off. Structural transphobia, maybe?

As for why we (and I'm speaking of the people who post on this site) don't see more F2M stories and stories from F2M individuals, I can only offer some things that might be part of it.

  • It may be that in the more public venues, the F2M contributors get crowded out by the M2F ones. I participated for a while in a crossdressing site which had separate M2F and F2M sections, and I noticed that the overwhelming majority of people posting in the F2M sections were clearly AMAB. In many cases, they were contradicting or talking over the few F2M contributors who spoke up.
  • It may be that the stories and thought structures that serve for the F2M spectrum roles similar to what story sites like this one serve for the M2F spectrum folks are so different that we don't recognize them as such. I'm reminded of how romance literature is said to serve for women a role kinda sorta like the role pornography serves for men. But not at all exactly the same!
  • There may be a lot out there, but maybe they're more underground and/or just not as visible, because F2M stuff gets seen as "women's stuff" and who cares about women, anyway? \end{sarcasm}

P.S.: Is there a reason why your posts seem to get posted twice?

It got posted 3 times! I was

It got posted 3 times! I was in the process of deleting this one and noticed your comment. I got those figures of google. TBH they seemed very low to me, but then we are close to the problem.

We are all different , the same we as you were talking about. I notice the most popular type of story I post here are the sentimental ones. other sites seem to prefer sex stories. Again that could be the difference between people that want to be women and people that like to dress for sexual stimulation.

I will have to find some F2M stories, I wonder if they are romantic or sex stories?
I will duplicate the other one. I think it happened when my internet slowed, I kept clicking send.

There are 694 stories

with the tag Female to Male on this site.

Then there's the question whether it's a major or minor part of the story. Many stories involves switches etc.
On the other hand not all stories with F2M content have this tag.

Anyway, the number 694 indicates that there are a substantial amount of F2M stories here even if they are "drowned" by other stories.
