I'll admit there seems to be a higher amount of detrans women speaking out than detrans men if you look at the florida medical board meeting and the detrans channels on youtube. I'm subbed to way more FtmtF than MtftM.

I suspect it's because MTFs have a lot to gain financially and socially if you look at the Dylan Mulvany situation. He amassed millions of followers, received brand deals, and got to speak in the white house after identifying as female. It also opens up the dating pool to "straight" men because gay men aren't as interested in femininity and straight men are more desirable to them anyway.

Despite the risks of long term medical issues looming above them, it's worth it to become a star.

I will always say to accept yourself. letting "doctors" cut you up and experiment on you is never the way to go and that goes for any cosmetic surgery. You have to address what's going on in your mind before performing irreversible acts on your healthy body.

I was about to say the same thing. Ranma was written by a woman, the same women who wrote Inuyasha and other popular romance anime from the 70s-2000s. She's not known for writing any sort of fetish material. Ranma isn't the pervy one, but rather other straight guys who constantly harass him. A lot of the jokes involve him beating the shit out of those pervy guys in his female and male form.

That's the word I was looking for: autoandrophilic. I detransitioned years ago, but I'm new to the community around and occasionally I've seen people mention the yaoi FTM pipeline, but I haven't seen any videos or read any analysis on it. I don't read yaoi or bl as much, so I'm probably missing out on a lot.

I realized this connection after seeing an FTM webtoon artist make it really big after being featured and promoted by a huge tech company. They're very open about their fetish on social media; they literally sell drawn p0rn of themselves getting fucked by other guys, double masectomy scars, enlarged cli.t and all, but no one has anything to say about it other than yaas kween.

I'm wondering if that might influence more people to transition when seeing how lucrative and popular a nerdy FTM can be. We've already seen a major rise in MTFs in social media and I suspect the financial and social aspect of it plays a part in the attractiveness of transitioning.

The LGBT movement often talks about defying gender roles, but for whatever reason, men can't just be feminine and women can't just be masculine. There isn't one way to be a man or a woman and it's not anyone else's business what role you fit into. That's for you to decide because it's your life. If you want to live as a masculine woman that doesn't look like a woman at all, that's your choice. People should judge you by your character first and foremost.

The only reasons to care so deeply about how you appear to others are for dating, how you want to be treated because feminine women do get better treatment by society, and vanity. You can still find love, be treated well by others, and look great as a masculine woman.

Your health and well being should come first, so personally I would advise against transitioning medically or socially, but that's for you to decide and I don't think you should stress over it. Focus more on who you are, rather than the role you or society places upon you.

I have an issue with both progressive and conservative ideologies. Both force men and women to behave a certain way. I don't understand why you can't just be whoever you want, but still be a man or woman. Being a woman just means you have certain chromosomes/anatomy; you can look like an alien and still be a woman.

I'm surprised how well articulated he is and I appreciate him encouraging younger generations to heal themselves before making permanently life altering decisions. I'm Asian, so none of the racial stuff bothered me because clearly he's not mentally well. I'm not religious, but I know a lot of good religious folk and I hope he's in good hands.

I had watched this show a long time ago and almost forgot it existed. I randomly came across the series on another Reddit post claiming the main character in Young Americans is trans, or close to being trans and I wanted to celebrate that she is not. We need to protect these stories from being hijacked and twisted into propaganda.

The only thing I don't like about these series is the use of binding and not letting the viewers know of the harmful effects of it on your rib cage, internal organs, spine, and breasts. I'll let it slide however, as it's the only representation tomboys get.

I kind of agree with your sentiment on the make overs too. Sometimes it's nice to show that masculine women can dress however they want, but to completely forgo the butch look takes something away from it. Jake and Hamilton looked really cute in their matching suits and I preferred Jake in her boyish clothes.

Nope. This is why I don't really like Blaire White or that old FTM who did p,orn. They highlight cases of detrans, but still want to be considered true trans. Even with all the surgeries and hormones, Blaire still has a frame of a man and an uncanny face and that FTM has curves like a woman. I think it's harmful to perpetuate that idea instead of advocating for people to accept themselves and love the healthy body they were born with.

they love to compete in women's sports and start fights against women, but they're scared to threaten the straight men who would fight back. I really don't think this is a patriarchy or toxic masculinity issue. It's a problem with weak men who want to wear a female costume to get attention and resources, or they want to go on a power trip and get away with as much as they can. Women need to start fighting back and stop caring about virtue signaling; I have my qualms with feminists because I feel they are partially responsible for this, but I love terfs. They are the only women I see pushing back against this dark period in history.
