I do think that the experiences of trans men are probably covered less widely, the writer of that piece mentioned a few things about his life that I'd never really considered and that much of the coverage in the public discussion about trans people is taken up by a focus on trans women and the levels of hostility towards them/the terrible way they are erasing womenhood (delate as appropriate to which side someone is coming from).

I wouldn't say that the lack of attention given to trans-men is nasty but some more time should probably be given to the challenges facing them as they try to live in society . But I do think a lot of the discourse around trans-women is incredibly nasty.
