An interesting thread on Reddit. The OP is a TiF, and immediately there is a massive difference in the way shes discovered being trans. The emotional aspect I believe is what draws a lot of young girls in, the image of another person -- especially if you see yourself in their gender nonconformity, is a very strong one.
Trans identified males, on the contrary, have a very different approach to self discovery.
The social performance of femininity was what led to this man's ultimate realization. Feeling insecure in masculinity led him to the conclusion he must be a woman, because...He didn't like his body hair?
This one's just sad. A woman being silenced and general TiM lunacy sent him down a rabbit hole.
...no comment. Can we have a word for biological males who want to be a lesbian because they have like, totally lesbian emotions and shit. Yeah, it's called being a fucking creep.
One of many 'porn made me realize I'm a woman.' posts in this thread. Sissy and feminization porn, the performance of femininity being synonymous with "woman" in the minds of men... This story is not unique. Also, lol at his username
"Future cat girl in denial."
It's a fetish.
I'm posting the most notable examples here, there were too many run of the mill "I wanted to be the woman in porn," and "i was watching my anime dick girl porno and felt GENDER EUPHORRIAAAA as imagining myself as her!"
