Too often it's just unattractive looking guys geting bad body image problems that are preyed upon. They get sold on some fairytale magic that will make them a beautiful princess.
This is not the case. Transitioning does not make you less ugly. What it does is make whatever positive masculine traits you do have into something deeply unsettling.
Any counter example of an attractive TIM was already quite feminine and attractive before transitioning. This is very rare. If there is any doubt as to wether one would be pretty after transitioning, they are ten times more apparent if one was to go through with it.
All people have an innate ability to identify an unhealthy person. Historically it helped us avoid disease. Nowadays it's why the uncanny Valley exists, and why trans people who don't pass look so goddam creepy.
In any case good for him. I don't know what kind of damage he's incurred, but here's hoping he's managing to pull himself back together.
Many years ago during a conversation with one of these "progressive" types I made some mention of my being "a fat piece of shit". She replied with something like "that's not a healthy way of thinking about yourself; you should be happy with your body as-is".
This person was also fat, and when she said that it occurred to me that with her attitude she'd always be fat, but with my attitude there was at least a chance I'd try to not be. So whose attitude was actually the "healthy" one?

so are you still a fat piece of shit?
Yes but far less of one than I was when this occurred, and moving towards not being one at all.
