This comment made me lol:

I feel like most is an exaggeration irl, but as a gay trans man who's very much "traditionally" masculine and obsessed with NFL/NBA, weight lifting, and finds myself attracted mostly to straight men... yeah I really don't feel like I can relate with most of the ones I see on Tiktok at all. She’s so different! 🙄

She’s made a terrible mistake.

On the bright side, this is very solvable!

Not really. She might never get pregnant, which reduces the amount of straight men willing to date her, because most straight men want children if they get married.

I only want to date women who don't want kids 😂 but I get your point!

Each their own. Most people want children, some people don’t. Me personally, I’m on the fence, but if I were to have children I’d adopt or marry a divorced/widowed father.

I don’t think it’s mental illness. It’s just good old identity tourism (like White people pretending to be Black or Native etc.).

Huh. Kind of exactly like heterosexual people pretending to be LGB or people pretending to be the opposite sex…

I actually kind of love that phrase, "identity tourism," I've never heard it before but it seems to exactly capture what's going on right now with the massive surge in people identifying as LGBTQ+.

When you 'not like other girls' so hard you have to make it clear that you aren't like those OTHER 'not like other girls'.

OP has a comment in other sub where she admits to reading hentai manga. Don't know why she's mad at the poor little TikTok manlets and their anime ships. Methinks she doth project too much.

It's not the fact that they're yaoi-loving fetishizers that irks them, it's the fact that they're publicly admitting it to outsiders when it's supposed to be an in-group secret.

This once again reminds me that if transpeople never devolved past this point of "regular transgender person" (ie truscum / transmeds) I would never have dug into this whole rabbit hole of nonsense. Somehow Tumblr spawned an entire generation of gender idiocy which gets taken seriously and these "regular" trans people seem to be to blame for this for allowing the cancer to metastasis instead of putting their foot down when these people were 12.
