Always hilarious to think that's what they think they look like.

I assume they use anime because they know they don’t pass and never will. If they used anything with any vague resemblance to how they actually look, people would have a harder time playing along.

I think this is one of the unfortunate reasons that suicide is so high after transition. They get this sort of delusional reinforcement that transition turns them into some anime cat girl and all they get is chronic pain from the surgery and exist on a knife edge with balancing hormones and outfits. It's like Hodor holding the door with the body's homeostasis slamming into it forever.

Upvote for Hodor and homeostasis in the same sentence.
