Here’s what I don’t get. The world is set up for straight people. The overwhelming majority of women are straight and there are straight ladies who’d date a guy who cross dresses. Why expend all your time and energy chasing the one group of women who will never want you? You can get super weepy on TikTok all you want, dude, but no lesbian is ever going to want you.

I think for a lot of these men the point is forcing people to do things they're uncomfortable with. It's the same mentality as a flasher, the appeal is knowing that you've violated a woman's boundaries.

Yeah. It’s just there are many easier and less absurd ways to prey on women. I suppose trans is the one stop shop that combines fetish, homophobia, and misogyny while also providing a crowd of cheerleaders and endless get out of jail free cards.

Yes. TRAs have the most flying monkeys at their disposal at this time. And narcissistic abusers do love the path of least resistance + most narcissistic supply. Such abusers target the weaknesses other people have, and by default, being at risk of ostracism, losing your job, etc. makes you automatically weak if you use critical thought to assess the validity of TRA arguments and the appropriateness of their behavior. Since you can be subjected to mob rule invoked by themselves as pretend victims, you are defenseless in their eyes.

Dating people who are attracted to them doesn't validate their self ID

Fetish.

I don't get it either.

I would have no problem with dating a man who cross dressed, as long as he wasn't creepy.

He's so homophobic he's basically crying about lesbians being lesbians. How do these men get this fucked up?

At this point I’ come to the conclusion that they get fucked-up because they don’t get fucked. Simple as that.

What would happen if lesbians were willign to date them out of pity? Would that make them really feel better?

I’ve wondered about that, actually. I’ve read online anecdotes about how they know people complement them out of pity, but it’s not genuine. As for dating, all I’ve seen is either a) ranting online about how they’re “ghosted”, or b) claiming that any woman who’s romantically involved with them is a default lesbian because that’s what they are, etc.

Such a straight male perspective, the idea that your sexuality trumps your partners. Lesbians aren't out here screaming that every woman who dates us is a lesbian, many of us date bisexual women.

"I am begging you. BEGGING you. You don't have to date us but.." He's totally begging lesbians to date him.

I didn't notice any crying here. What I did notice was smug delight at succeeding at abusing people who have said no.
