Are you asking why there's no representation or why the animosity is mostly at MTFs?
For representation I would guess it's because society is transphobic and likes to see FTMs as female still and pushes that female gender norm of being unseen and unrepresented.
I imagine the animosity is because mainstream society is transphobic and if you're born male you're a threat but not if born female.
In short, I think both are a combination of transfobia and traditional gender norms.
I didn't word my question specifically enough, but I'll leave it to the interpretation of the reader.
I think it's plenty specific. Talking about the invisibility of FTMs without focusing it further lets us cover many branches of that invisibility.
I apologize if I phrased anything to be judgemental, it wasn't my intention.
Nah you're good don't worry. I wanted to clarify for future readers my intent so it's not confusing.
