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.

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.
