Since the vast majority of "trans women" are straight men, they likely just don't care about other straight men. Their harassment and calling themselves "transgender lesbians" is an attempt by straight men to force themselves on unwilling women. It would explain the huge overlap between trans-identified men and incels.

Autism is the common element. I'm not joking, check the correlation between that and the other 2 factors. Therapists are on a crusade to convince autistic teens (male and female) that they actually have gender dysphoria, and it's wildly successful.

Persuasion cannot be the only factor. That would contradict the many others which are so obvious, like enjoying one's own performativity of what's typical of the other sex, sexual enjoyment of the humiliation that comes with a man dressing and acting like a woman, or fetishization of same sex-attracted people of the other sex. Factors like the feeling of being special that always comes with identifying as trans could be argued as having formed after one is persuaded by a therapist. Maybe another one of the aforementioned factors, too. But the uniformity of the trans community, its similarity in terms of why its individuals continue to identify as trans is simply too much for it to simply be random autistic men and women merely talked into it by therapists.

If you ask me, autism is overdiagnosed and confused with social anxiety and developmental issues that resulted from having grown up interacting with technology like the internet too much. It's usually an overexposure to such overstimulating things as anime, hentai, porn and the narcissistic culture that is the norm on the internet that primes a person for identifying as trans.

There are many factors, and yes, the therapist tism --> tranny pipeline is but one. I believe the constant straight White men are villains narrative has an effect as well. Especially on straight White men that lack the advantages that many White men have (intelligence, looks, determination). So, picture this - you're an ugly ass White man, everyone hates you cause you're a White man, they also hate you cause you're ugly - and you wanna stop being a punching bag/tax cow. Well, just "identify" as a woman, now you're a protected class / and while your levels of athleticism are cringe worthy among men, you can be a king among women. While you may still be an eyesore, no one can say it anymore for fear of being cancelled.

I don't wholly disagree. I wouldn't stop at autism though, ADHD and several other things are also frequently misdiagnosed.

I'm really glad you mentioned men who identify as trans because they are unhappy with their social value as a man. Very well put. I couldn't agree more! I keep seeing that a lot, too.

That's pretty likely.
