>>36428965Moot said it best: I want to be a cute anime girl, that's about it. If I had a spell to transform myself into someone like Hifumi whenever I wanted, I would've gladly used it. It would've been cool to look stunningly beautiful and have fun with it, all with no real-life consequences like menstruation and whatnot.
Thankfully, I'm also a mentally stable human being who knows that anime girls don't exist and transforming into one is impossible no matter how much you want it. And I'm more than happy to be a dude because acting like a girl in your imagination is fun, but actually being one in real life is a huge pain in the ass (especially if you got unlucky with your genetics).
And that distinction between anime and real life is something 99% of modern trannies do not see. None of them wanted to be real women, they wanted to be anime girls. And in their sheltered existence, no one bothered to explain the difference. And more importantly - no one bothered to tell them that they can't get everything they want just because they want it. And that's how we got the modern Greek tragedy that is trannies. All of them will either kill themselves or try to detransition when they finally realize that real life is not anime. Or they will try to pretend like everything is fine, and sink into depression.
So yes, I play as girls in Pokemon because I like it. And as long as you're not a pampered child with a feeble grasp on reality, it's totally fine.
