As for not being able to name any FTM there is one who automatically came to mind and yes he is famous and yes he has been out for a very very long time and his name is Chas Bono.

There are many more FTM in the media and as advocates and one reason why they are not as prominent is it is accepted as you your self describe the assumption is taken that they are either butch girls or feminine boys.

It is exactly that reason why it Is hard for any MTF to pass as it is expected they be more woman than a woman in all things, this as you point out is not seen the same for the average FTM.

I am glad that you are accepted in society as male and one day maybe i will also be able to be accepted without the continual comments, slurs or exclamations especially in buying closes or entering toilets.
