This matches pretty much what I've found when it comes to gender and trans stuff. Women use it as a coping mechanism because of mental illness and trauma, sexual or otherwise. They get raped or molested and start to dissociate from their female bodies. They feel like they can escape the trauma every happening again if they throw away their femininity. Women are also in general more prone to anixety and low self-esteem. They have a warped "grass is greener" view on men and think that they can escape their anxiety and self-consciousness by becoming male, because they view being a male as inherently being self-confident and powerful. Little do they know they just put life on nightmare difficulty because when they do transition they don't become a confident Chad, they become a feminine manlet which usually makes their anxiety and self-esteem issues even worse.
For men it's overwhelming sexual in nature and the final stage of autogynophilia.
