You mean I can’t just say I’m a man I actually have to have other desirable traits like a personality and social intelligence? These people really think they can be emotionally stunted adults that slap on a new gender identity and suddenly no need to work on themselves or even know themselves they’ll just become desirable. Honestly the biggest turn off about trans is how it broadcasts how little you know or are comfortable with yourself.

Agreed. They think that other person - the version of them that was their "assigned" sex had the problems. This new version, the adaptation of a new identity, leaves all the problems behind without having to face them. When people talk about not wanting to date them, it's like who can blame them? They're literally wearing their mental health problems, advertising their shit for everyone to see. Like, you want acceptance? Start with self-acceptance.

This. I think this point alone cuts right to the heart of the underlying issue that manifests itself as "transgenderism" in a majority of non-HSTS individuals.

Speaking from his own experiences, Walt Heyer attributes this explicitly to unresolved traumas that metastasize into identity dysregulation.
