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”
