I JUST saw a screencap of one of the more infamous transwomen documented on KF admitting that it was alright to transition if it was "just a fetish". They're saying all this shit out loud and people are STILL furious with Radfems that it keeps getting brought up. Well yeah, because it's a real issue! Some folks are just blind af.

The problem is the general populace isn't aware of the fetishistic motivations some men have for transitioning. And you have TRAs that actively deny that those people exist. And other people believe them.

That's the problem. This stuff needs to be exposed so people have a more realistic understanding of what they're really supporting.

It pretty clearly is an actual thing. Visible in many online places, including Twitter and Reddit. How common it is? I don't know, but the early literature suggests that it is fairly common among those who transition.

The vast, vast majority of people are not on Twitter or Reddit. Things that those of us active in the topic know about, most people are completely unaware of. They have no idea about what is happening to teens or AGP or anything like that.
