Maybe, but a lot of these folks are within really gay-positive, affirming cities or contexts. Homosexuality isn't just tolerated, it's celebrated. Or are therapists just convincing gay people that they're actually trans? How is this working?

I suppose some gay people think that transitioning would increase their chances of getting a boyfriend. I encountered a homosexual transsexual on Reddit who bragged about how much better straight men are than gay men. I told him that straight men don’t want to date transwomen at all, and that all he has left are bisexual men and closeted gay men. He did not respond.

There are also some gay men who are so feminine, they think they might as well be women. To be fair to them, a lot of gay men do not want to date feminine men - most of us are attracted to masculinity. Myself included. But a lot of other gay men are interested in feminine men, and some of these men actually prefer or only want feminine men. But even then, most gay men have a limit on how feminine their boyfriends can be.

As a heterosexual male, I've never understood why HSTS believed they actually were getting with "straight" men. It's clear as day, that they're getting with bisexual men or closeted gay guys into feminine males. I guess it's a coping mechanism? Sad that they have to lie to themselves like that.

Some HSTSs think they’re so convincing. To be fair, it’s easy to do that on camera with the right angles, the right editing software, and the right makeup. But they do not stand a chance with heterosexual men. If a trans “woman” has a boyfriend who calls himself “straight”, chances are he’s bisexual but hasn’t come out because he doesn’t want to get told to “pick a side”. Not to mention that a lot of HSTSs won’t date bisexual men. Or perhaps the man in question finds boobs a must, doesn’t care if they come with a dick, and just don’t want to date men without boobs.
