I honestly feel really bad for teens on egg irl. It's like incels, hapas, or any of the other "indoctrinating" subreddits for young unpopular kids. Teens are very impressionable and easily fall down a rabbit hole. It's a particularly insidious rabbit hole because the consequences of medical transition are pretty serious.

I'm kinda old now but I used to like anime at that age and so many of my friends and I would play as the opposite sex character in video games, dress up like the opposite sex ("crossplay"), use fake names, consume too much gay manga and hentai porn, etc. All part of normal youthful exploration, we were already the weird kids so the guys didn't feel ashamed if they wore a dress because who cares? We were so much freer on gender roles than kids today. Only one friend of mine transitioned, and she is genuinely transsexual (post everything) and doesn't try to overstep women's boundaries or anything, just lives her life.

I feel like if we were all teens nowadays, half of my friends would have "transitioned". Some who are moms of kids now would have gotten double mastectomies and had permanently lowered voices. Some of the guys might have been permanently medically castrated and not had kids at all. Just because they liked to look at anime girls. It's all so crazy to think about.
