They always go to their own niche subreddits to validate their delusions and assuage them of their guilt. "Hey subreddit specifically made to validate my narcissism, am i invading gay spaces? i feel guilty. I wont ask gay people. Instead, i'll ask other invaders"

Answer:"Oh my god! You're so vaAaAaaALiD! You belong in gay spaces! I invite you in even though im just a straight girl posing as a gay guy just like you!"

Response: "Thanks guys. My conscience was bothering me but now i feel all better. Any real gay guy who disagrees is a disgusting bigot."

Exactly. She knows she’s in the wrong, but she doesn’t actually want to hear that. So, she’s asking all her other larper friends instead of asking even one actual gay guy.

Eh. They can also go to any of the moderated-to-hell-and-back subs like r/AskGayMen where people who'd tell it to them straight (hehe) would get banned.

Reminds me of these quotes: "advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't", and "when we ask advice we are usually looking for an accomplice".

Oh damn this. It gives me a severe eye-roll when I see that.

Knowing I’ll always be seen as a straight girl even though there’s a gay man stuck in there, locked away if infuriating and heart breaking

Help there is a closeted gay man inside my straight girl's body!! 😒

Batshit insane bullshit. There is no gay man somehow stuck somewhere inside her. All that's there are a straight woman's sick gay fetish fantasies she invented to cope with her mental health problems.

That's what gay men are for these women - a coping mechanism.

I feel victimized 😭

Ehhh this is why I roll my eyes at people who are like "trans and gay" what I immediately translate it "straight but make yourself queer as fuck this way". I found a straight girl with removed breasts calling herself gay and a twink. She doesn't even pass.

Sounds so very young.

I've been thinking about that lately, how lots of ftms on the internet sound like teenagers or very young adults. How I'd usually give this population a free pass because, you know, young and stupid, I've been there. But the amount of power they've accumulated over the years is, uh, concerning. And invalidates the free pass. Now we're living in thought-police land.

It's hard for me to adapt and find a way to react.

Yeah. I used to ignore it on the same premise until I realized how successful they are in pushing their stupidity. Now I am no longer ignorant and look at it concerned.

"I often hear gay standup comedians make jokes about being closeted and having sex with a cis woman and how they new they were gay when they saw the vagina. I know it's a joke and all but it's painful to hear."

Yet she'll still go after gay men IRL, knowing full well how they feel.

Reality is painful.

Especially when you're convinced the entire world should play along with your delusions.

Such narcissists, everything has to be about them. Even other people's sexual trauma?!

First comment

. . .I have a lot to unlearn.

That's the most horrifying word humans have ever created. This seriously makes me want to tear my own head off. Self-gaslighting.

The few posts from that sub that have been posted here have really made me think, even more so than before, that these 'gay trans men' are women who've taken their fetish of gay men to the absolute extreme.

She feels guilty, but not guilty enough to actually ask gay men if she's invading or not.

I've thought about what it'd be like if I joined a dating app for gay men. Lots of handsome cis men and then there's me, very feminine, I feel like I'd just be seen as a fetishizer and not a legitimate gay man. Everyone around me just wants to convince me it'd just be a much easier life being a straight cis woman, that it's not even worth it. It feels so wrong though, so I don't even understand why I also feel so weird and like a black sheep in the place I know I belong.

"Hey you guys, my delusions aren't working!"

i fucking felt that on so many fucking levels. However I happen to be bi but i prefer saying I'm gay.

And this is why we can't have nice things.
