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).
