Type 3 and 5 overlap quite often in my experience. My theory is that many who start out as type 3 grow bitter once they realize they won't get handed their real-life yaoi fairytale by the gay male community and turn into type 5, though still differing in that they don't want to be included in explicitly female spaces. And Type 1 doesn't really exist anymore. Trans-identified men who are into men are exclusively pseudobisexuals nowadays.

I think type 1's are more common in black and latino spaces, they also go super stealth. There's a wave of them on instagram as influencers/wannabe influencers. They blend in well as many of the hyper-feminine straight women influencers get all this plastic surgery done and facetune and filter the shit out of their pics. Not to mention that the women's makeup trends in these communities are very favorable to trans. When they do talk about being trans, it's usually in a super exclusive groups of other stealth tgirls and their chasers. Think a Nikita Dragun type, except Nikita milks trans identity as a way to get fame and stand out.

I wouldn't rule them out on pseudobisexuality, necessarily. A lot of heterosexual women in similar hyper-sexualized communities have become pseudobisexuals.

That would make a lot of sense! Homophobia tends to unfortunately be more common in those communities.
