>>42547268interesting interpretation but that's rather not accurate from the viewpoint of someone right in the middle of all this shirt (norcal). IMO it's a massive pseudo-cultural, psuedo-political cope for people to rebrand themselves as some kind of minority that can't be attacked or picked on now as an alternative to "being an incel." tons of these people, not all but TONS of them, have very fucking insular hobbies that never get them any exposure to girls at all for years or literal decades. then they troon out. because they think it's better than going "y-yeah guess I'm foreveralone haha." they just "become" the woman they would have liked to meet in their mind as best they can, usually to horrifying results. growing up, trans people did exist, I'm not denying some people really-are born like that and are well documented as wanting to only play with barbies and wear dresses as toddlers completely independent of any social influences or people encouraging them.
but those ones are I think really really flooded out now with people who treat it as a political-social subculture because being political/social justice is what's "cool" now. in the early 00s when I was a teen we had metalheads, goths etc. now they don't really have those anymore in high schools, but they do have trannies, and guess what, goths/metalheads were often what we would have called incels back then if that term existed, or otherwise less-popular outcasts and such looking for a social group to fit in with. the parallels are similar but the problem is this kind of thing is designed to try to lock people in to a big post-purchase rationalization and force them to make decisions with potentially lifelong consequences. you can stop wearing metal shirts or just cut your hair and stop dyeing it but you can't grow your dick back nor can you easily unfuck your head from years of hormones.
thanks for coming to my TED talk I will see myself out now.
