For reasons, trans women are predominantly more online than trans men.
My theory is that, for some reason, tech was always seen as a male thing. Then those males went on to have sons (trans women) and because of gender roles, they introduced them to tech things and didn’t really bother with their daughters, who they assumed they’d be more into makeup and dolls.
At least, that’s probably true for me. I don’t think my dad would have felt the same connection to me if I were female. My brother and I are both very tech savvy and my sister is tech literate but doesn’t care very much. The average person doesn’t care to interact with the outskirts of the internet (which, in this case, is Lemmy).
The only people I know that use Reddit (it’s highly unpopular in my area) are the tech savvy ones, or those in STEM, read as chronically online. As these are stereotypically male interests, no wonder AMABs here are predominant. From what I see, AFABs really love to inhabit artistic or normie places where the main idea is self-expression. From the young age, they are taught to work hard on their public image in terms of being likeable, so finding an outlet for this is only natural. And changing the habits is hard.

Very reasonable theory you just wrote.
