Yeah, that's the point. In the past there were transexuals who were the one with real dysphoria (who literally hated their body) and who were homosexual, and they were really few, because the people who really need to transition are not many. But today the queer theory has changed everything. And the hetero male with fetish, who in the past would just dress up in private, are now transwomen. Hetero with fetish are way more than actual naturally dysphoric people. They're just like portraiting themselves as female, it either a sexual fetish call autogynephilia or they're incels and think being transwomen give them more attention, surely more chances to harrass women since they can play the victim card like they couldn't do as regular males, but actually got not real dysphoria. They love their dicks and lesbians are constantly harrassed and attacked as transphobic for not wanting to sleep with them. This is traditional abusive aggressive male bahaviour, but in a dress. Like the opposite of feminism.

I agree that part queer theory that gender roles are big thing here. For myself, back when I could pass, I found that the female social role, ways of interacting and expectations and treatment was just so much more natural and fluent - unlike among men. Comes with having grown always as “one of the girls”. And being kinda girly and feminine man among the other men, especially socially, is often resented, but less than one would easily expect. But never had that strong feeling of bodily dysphoria, and even though mighty have donee fine had I gone down that road, I’m happy I didn’t. Nowdays I’m quite fine that I get commonly read as femme gay, even as that I ain’t the thing, just expressing as I come naturally and feel like, I get along with all aspects of life quite nicely.

Well you escaped queer theory. If you had grown up in today world, you would have chemically castrated yourself.

Yeah, even back then there was that pressure in the community - topic to itself- but can’t imagine what it is today now that cross dressers are thing of past and voices of slow and careful approach on these topica are far and few. But hey, I found a wife who has a thing for men like me and raising kids is just great. Wouldn’t ever want to sacrifice that for some unneccessary comfort.

Once I heard a hushed discussion that “even many of those transsexuals who seemed to do great on all fronts, ended up committing suicide decades later ...and there is something more to this” alas, no-one went to tell their theories, would’ve like to know what. One trans man hitting 50 confessed me that it was in the end, truly about not being ok with having periods and hating them on all the levels, but that testosterone was a mistake, but have to just roll with where he is now.
