    Notably, the words the author focused on are all considered offensive now. If a more liberal person were to look for transgender porn, they may not use those terms.

      Absolutely this is why the data looks this way. I bet if they looked at searches for “trans woman”, “trans man”, “mtf”, “ftm”, etc, the charts would be reversed.

      Also, people searching “femboy” mostly won’t be looking for trans content at all, just… femboys (cisgender men who express themselves in what are traditionally feminine ways).

        Yup. TL;DR…

        Search terms for the list ranking include only: “shemale”, “tranny”, “femboy”, and “ladyboy”

    Just want to acknowledge the the writing and title choice in the article itself are annoyingly smug, but the data analysis itself I found interesting.

    “The More Red You Get, The More You Love Trans Porn” That’s just effing hilarious!
