So misogynist lol. Being a woman is being weak and dumb and not liking football and having boobies.

A lot of the people identifying as transgender hold extremely stereotypical views on sex roles. Which is why I think personally you tend to see a lot of it coming out of the military and other places that would be considered to have more conservative cultures.

I should think most normal well adjusted people understand that not all men like beer and football (most do) but I think when you've got someone who already has low self esteem and self image issues, and the cultural environment they are in gives messages of "real men are like XYZ" or "Real women are XXZ" or whatever, they internalize it as something like "I don't like beer, therefore I am a woman" and then psychologically they just go and embrace all those stereotypes of women they have.

I think it's primarily a mental illness surrounding issues of self identity and, likely issues stemming from a lack of a feeling of belonging in their dominant culture. And they've yet to learn self actualization and internal validation so instead seek external validation through the means of cross dressing. They might experience a kind of "gender disphoria" but I think it's entirely caused by issues unrelated to gender itself. Contrasted with cases of gender dysphoria where the person is having distress with their physical form which is I think a different condition.

Yeah for sure, this is essentially just narcissism. A fear of one's own identity, of being "seen". Ask any trans person if they could magically take a pill that would make them okay with their natal bodies and they would probably say no, because the point is not to "become what we're meant to be", it's to escape what they really are.

And yeah, hand in hand with that goes extremely stereotypical, reductive caricatures, because generally when narcissists try out new personas they start with a very surface-level superficial imitation of the things they see other people (or themselves) respond most positively to. Trans women dress and act like dumb bimbos because, as men, those are the most appealing aspects of womanhood to them. That they are unintentionally revealing a misogynistic, diminutive view of women most likely formed in teenagehood and never once questioned since doesn't occur to them as a concern. Nor does it seem to be bothering the larger cultural sphere which is now fully defining womanhood and lesbianism as whatever horny dudes say it is.

Then, IDK, there's like 5% of trans people who are gay people with trauma or who want straight partners/to not be "gay" for some other internalized reason and I guess that's what people call real dysphoria.
