I live in a country with tons of ladyboys, and I can attest that: (a) the hottest chicks are ladyboys; (b) the prettiest chicks are chicks. The ladyboys do a fantastic job, they're just not either irrational or flighty enough to be 100% convincing. Still it's an A-/B+ effort.
But FtM... Okay, I know they're crazy etc... but what's the point? But FtMs are:
- weak
- stupid
- they don't get camaraderie
- they don't get the autistic joys of spending 8 hours fishing
- they don't love physical exertion
- they don't love nature and silence
- they don't get that dogs are animals, and should be treated as such
- they can't do super-insulting bantz with random men (I'm talking to you, you god-damned LSU fans)
you know... etc. They literally get nothing right about being men. Nothing!
I mean -- I can vaguely understand turning boys into girls, because hey, some guys really are very, very faggy. But girls into boys? That's just an abomination.
I had a coworker who was aiming for this once. I never really discussed it beyond some comments she gave personally. Management also made a comment encouraging us to respect her pronoun. She was also like... 18 or something.
Got the impression she just didn't feel comfortable with her feminine side (despite being a petite little thing) and didn't know how to deal with it rationally. Anything else sounded like a cover or an excuse to avoid confronting that reality.
An evergreen statement I once heard: "I've seen many tall women, but never any tall trans so called man".
They are always the smallest women.
I know exactly one in my life, and "he" barely comes up to my chest.
"He" also still has a purse despite having a beard, talks with the same cadence as a woman, and still has the same interests as one. Oh, and has another mental illness to boot, because troons never have just one.
That's how these things always start. Someone who fails pretty hard (whether by genetics of laziness) at being their own gender, so they fall into a spiral that eventually leads them to reject it.
And, much like everything in life from suicide to murder, men commit to things a lot harder. So the gender failure man just goes full MTF, while the gender failure girls often just go tumblr they/them androgyny. Its only the rare ones that commit to the bit of FTM.
A majority of female-to-male trenders are now headed to gender dysphoria clinics than the other way around. It would most likely also translate to more medically assisted self-mutilation in that category.
Not going to look things up. Take it as is.
I don't doubt that, but in the larger sphere there are way more nonbinary, they/them, genderqueer whatevers that are female than there are male.
Once they accept they are full on trans, I'm sure they commit to that bit harder because its way easier to go FTM and pass-ish.
