Thank you. For background, I stumbled upon it while in r/latebloomerlesbians, which I will never stop overanalyzing. Whenever an OP's post sets off alarm bells in me about them not being a lesbian but trying to convince themselves and everyone else they're one, I quickly check their profile to see if I can get an explanation for what's going on. I found this from checking the recent post history of a woman whose r/LBL post was giving off the red flags of being a fetishist not a lesbian. Among other red flag posts within the last few days including where she admitted attraction to men (so lesbian!) I saw a post from her in the r/GrowYourClit subreddit.

I clicked and didn't have a lot of time to hang around, but everything I opened up was setting off major alarm bells. I noticed the posts about women secretly taking bootleg testosterone and hiding it from doctors. I also noticed there are over 12.5K subscribers so that's approaching the level of r/LGBDroptheT and r/truelesbians before they got banned this summer. So this isn't a tiny niche. I also looked quickly into the history of the subreddit to figure out where it all fits in relation to the gender trend.

It was founded just a year ago in November 2019: https://subredditstats.com/r/growyourclit

And by user overlap: https://subredditstats.com/subreddit-user-overlaps/growyourclit

So yes, it's a fetish thing with overlap with genderism based on most frequently used words, top submissions, user overlap, etc. Various sex/fetish subreddits + r/trans and r/lgbt are among the top in user overlap. As if we needed more evidence that r/lgbt was overtaken by children and fetishists and has nothing to do with gay people. It also seems like this is being used by women who are are trying to appear "non-binary." Interestingly most users seem to be calling themselves women, but topical cream is one way that a lot of FtM take their exogenous T. So why does that make the former women and the latter men?
