>>18232886This is true. Fundamentally, men don't compete with women, we compete with other men. The very concept of your girlfriend "cheating" on you with another woman is illogical, because women aren't a threat to your status and they exist on an entirely separate hierarchy. This is also where, I suspect, a lot of the hate against mtf trannies comes from: you're opting out of the male rat race and choosing to live as a class that is protected and coddled by society. You're shirking your own duties and taking the easy path, and maintaining various male physical advantages (like strength, athleticism, pain tolerance) while demanding people otherwise treat you like a woman. I rarely see anyone give a shit about ftm trannies because it's simply impossible to perceive them as threats, they're just choosing to live life on hard mode.
