It's weird that a woman being a tomboy is more accepted socially than feminine men, yet I think trans-male is less socially accepted than trans-female. do you think that's true?
There is still some prejudice about women's choices of individuality which men don't experience, in my observations.
Gender discrimination is experienced in different ways. However, I always try to tell those who seem interested, that in my experience I never saw more aggresiveness given towards me than when I looked like a feminine man.
I've been perceived as a feminine/masculine female and a feminine/masculine male, I never felt more fear than walking down the streets having people think I was a gay guy or a male-to-female trans. People seem to be more critical of feminine masculinity than masculine femininity.

Not sure what you mean by that, because I don't know what you mean when you say trans-male. There seem to be more maletofemale than femaletomale, the perception of more acceptance for mtf may come from there. Becoming aware of ftm is what really took mtf to being seen as more than a 2.0 gay or fetichists. Growing up I saw several entertainers use the subject of mtf for humor, so I can see how people could think laughter equals tolerance or acceptance.
