So...anime, anime, anime, porn, anime porn, more anime, egg irl, cringey specific sexual language, more anime, "hating men" (trying to fit the stereotype lesbians hate men? LOL), and finally more anime porn. Great.

Seriously someone should study the link between guys becoming trans"lesbians" and anime.

Anime really seem popular among this people.It's weird.

A lot of shounen anime tends to idealise, objectify and stereotype women. A lot of obsessive anime watchers have low self-esteem and have body image issues. A lot of them also use anime as an escape from reality, and thus resent reality when compared to their fantasy. Most of these communities are already "queer"-heavy themselves. A fair amount of fixation and fetishisation also goes on in these communities.

It is the perfect breeding ground for a "transbian".

Why don't we see this more in Japan? It seems like the entire TQ+ movement passed them over.

[–][deleted] 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yeah, probably because of a lack of any TQ+ presence in Japan. No-one to suggest the idea of being trans to the depressed person in question. The trans thing definitely spreads to some degree, I have seen it happen in a niche community of my own.

And if that isn't why... then I don't know. I was just going off of my own experiences with these communities and these types of people, which is obviously going to be primarily western-centric.

Amateur artist here, and I've thought for some time that a BIG part of anime's trans-appeal is how much alike the sexes look-- specifically, both are depicted in the same hyper-stylized, over-the-top-"girly" (cloyingly-cute/pretty) way. So the male characters can easily "pass" as female... and often do. Which is of course not only the "transwoman" dream, but how they think things actually ARE. Dude just puts on a skirt, makeup, and wig = INSTANT PRETTY-GIRL-NESS ACHIEVED. Except this only works in anime. Which, therefore, they try to live in, and paper over the real, uncooperative world with: anime-rules... anime-reality.

I suspect that there's something similar going on with their mania for "transing" children, particularly very young ones. Cuz when a guy starts insisting he's a girl once male puberty, and the dramatic effects of high testosterone levels, have had their way with him... you can SEE how absurd it is. But a three-year-old boy presented as a girl? Before secondary-sex characteristics have emerged, there's not much obvious difference. So that's one reason they want to make it about naturally-androgynous little kids rather than hulking, hairy, linebacker-looking "transwomen": the visuals. Forgetting that, even if secondary-sex characteristics haven't developed yet... the PRIMARY ones are already there, and remain no matter what you look like.

The link is pedophilia and infantalizing women.

[–]GoValidateYourselfuseful lesbian 13 insightful - 1 fun13 insightful - 0 fun14 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

You're probably right. A lot of these men transition b/c they think women have an easier or softer life than men (look at r/transmaxxing for direct examples). They freely admit to wanting a softer life, softer expectations, being able to show emotions more freely (LOL as if), want to be treated soft for "looking pretty", etc. All of that amounts to infantilizing women.

Then the pedophilia. That anime porn bullshit gives me the fucking creeps! Those cartoon women have little girl or baby faces, and show emotions in child like ways, childish expressions etc, but with ultra-sexualized, adult women bodies. I hate it.

I always found this interesting. While anime isn’t western, I only ever see white transbians. All the cross dressers and transwomen in Japan seem to be gay men, and they don’t try to change definitions or speak over women (at least not that I’m aware of). I’m guessing the vast majority of transbians are weebs who always fetishized asian women, but now they want to BE them. It’s gross.

Oh Jesus Christ. This guy looks like my brother-in-law in a bad wig. For reference, my brother-in-law is a serious weightlifter who climbs mountains, has a sizable gun collection, loves hunting, and would die before he voted Democrat.

For as much as he talks about hating men, the dude in the video isn’t trying at all to not look or act like one. He’s put on a badly stuffed bra and is gushing about how things that aren’t relatable to any woman, especially any lesbian, makes him a lesbian. I can’t. I just want off this planet at this point.

Urgh, I'm having a flashback.

My BIL is a transvestite who made some excuse for to to come around. He came downstairs in full 'Nikita' mode, complete with latex dress, and he then hit on me.

And now I'm nauseous again.

[–]GoValidateYourselfuseful lesbian 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Ew! Your brother in law hit on you? Did you tell your sister/brother who is married to him? Sorry to hear that happened to you.

[–]GConly 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

He's my husband's cross dressing brother.

I mentioned years later it after he moved away.. refrained from telling my OH until then because he can't stand him to begin with. There would have been an arse kicking.

The guy is an all-round creep who likes to excuse his behaviour as 'mental health problems.' He's a manipulate asshole of the first order. Used to make suicide threats all the time, 'self harmed' by stabbing blunt knives into his knee at the dinner table for attention (where only I could see) as a 'poor me'. Never actually hurt himself in any way.

Parasited off his retired parents for years.

I however am not his parents and don't give any kind of a shit about him. My sole concern if he'd stabbed himself would be the carpet.

Shocking hygiene too.

He once send me some porn video asking if it was me in it... She looked vaguely like me.. husband just went WTF? when it hit our inbox. He's had a thing for me for about thirty plus years, I reckon. Pretty sure he used to snoop on OH and me banging as teens.

Just eew.

Sorry to say, but people like this are why I can't take the TQ+ seriously. How on earth am I meant to look at this person and say "woman"?

I thought you were exaggerating.. then I clicked on the link. 4 seconds in ffs lol.

Why are we at this stage where I now have to say, "Yup. Sure. Dude is totally a lady like me. 100% the same. I would now get to have a wlw relationship with this individual."

HOW TF DID WE GET HERE?! 🤣

The comments are so much worse. It’s a bunch of straight guys with fetishes talking about how it’s so relatable for them.

It's a niche channel that no one but people who are looking for it would find, and those people are likely to vote it up.

Partially the almighty Algorithm leading people who to particular videos that fit their echo chamber... That and any critical comments would be silently erased/censored by the Algorithm. I'm starting to suspect dislikes/likes ratio is also silently manipulated by YT, just as subscriber numbers are.

Sketch comedy has gotten really bad. Not funny at all. Monty Python and Benny Hill types did a far better job of dressing up as women for laughs.

It feels so gross to see a man make a video claiming to be a lesbian and fetishizing lesbians all the while, and encouraging other men to do the same.

Sadly not a parody. This Horse faced ogre is serious. I hope his dick rots off.

[–]Taln_Reich 19 insightful - 3 fun19 insightful - 2 fun20 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

actually, at the start there is a disclaimer reading "this video is not a way to know definitively whether you are trans or not. Everyone's journy is different and no meme or video can tell you what your identity should be. This is simply a collection of common relatable moods for transfemmes and particular trans lesbians from when they were closeted. If this helps you, all the better, but its mostly for laughs".

so, basically, the "just kidding" backpedaling to avoid consequences.

Looks too manly. Can't watch unless they "pass" as women.

[–]reluctant_commenter 22 insightful - 3 fun22 insightful - 2 fun23 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

Do any "transbians" really "pass"? Maybe a rare few with a ton of filters and makeup. Probably even less so in real life.

[–]Rosefield 12 insightful - 3 fun12 insightful - 2 fun13 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

They don't

[–]DiscoStegosaurus 11 insightful - 1 fun11 insightful - 0 fun12 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

They never pass. Even if they manage to look like a real woman in a picture or via various filters/ lighting/ makeup/ surgeries, they give it away as soon as they start speaking and moving. It’s always a caricature of what they think femininity is and it’s always very uncanny valley.
