Imagine being born a boy who likes to play with girls' toys, you like dressing as a girl, and you like doing girly things.
You feel like you don't belong around boys and other boys find you weird and say that you're "not a real boy".
The ironic thing about this is I think a lot of boys who do this are actually heterosexual and just trying to find acceptable ways to connect to females who have alienated them.
Chads have girls throwing themselves at him, so he has no need to do this and can embrace masculine things - he does not fear repelling women or search for ways to connect with them.
The ugly boys, however, search in desparation for ways to connect to girls. "Why do they avoid me, am I scary?"
The ugly boys (except with those who take the approach of ogremaxing) might think (consciously or subconsciously) "I will avoid masculine behaviors and adopt feminine behaviors, this will make me less scary, to increase odds of me forming friendships or romances with girls".
IE "maybe if I let these girls put me in a dress, they will love me like they love their Barbie - even as a toy to be played with rather than a person, being objectified as a joke is better than no companionship at all".
I think we realize how pathetic this is, which is why these subconscious motivations would be internalized, and other rationalizations might be put into the forefront of motivation like "I'm mostly doing this because I enjoy this" or "I'm doing this because I feel like I am a girl".
Barring the idea of connecting to girls, even if you have made your peace (consciously and subconsciously) with the odds of that being low, stuff like "girl toys" could be appealing as an artifice which connects you indirectly to the idea of girls which are absent from your life.
For example: maybe you want a 'My Little Pony' toy, or a 'Sailor Moon' doll. I know I've thought at times it would be cool to own these - maybe the reason I enjoy these two shows (amongst others) is the lack of female grace in my own life? I haven't actually gone so far as to collect such figures, but I understand the impulse to do so well enough that I can relate to the underpinnings of those who have.
I'd rather unite with feminists against trannies tbh
Feminists : try to convince women to hate men, not to sleep with incels, convert women to lesbianism
MtF trannies : serve as copes for confused lesser incels like ITposters so they don't orbit foids or compete for them against us based blackpillcels - long as they don't try to trap me or groom the imaginary son I'll probably never sire, I'm not even mad.
Stinks of tranny apologetics.
I don't see how pointing out the caste-escape theory would be apologism. Saying someone isn't a prime enemy isn't the same as saying that someone is healthy.
I know this one guy who mentioned he used to harm himself by crushing his own genitalia, he was pressured to hate his own sexuality by an abusive upbringing. It's definitely not healthy to be in that state, but being in that state does not make him my enemy.
That's not far off from what MtFs are doing except in more extreme regards, they aren't just punching themselves in the nuts, they're chemically and surgically castrating themselves in the nuts because something has happened to disconnect their minds from embracing their male biology.
I see it as being semi-suicidal, I have more pity for it than hatred, I'd prefer to help them understand their situation better and find some better ways to cope with society than needing to embrace an inverted archtype to feel like they fit in.
We understand what it is like to be othered and how it can push you to create your own subcultures or want to reinvent yourself, these guys have just gone into a pretty extreme overdrive about that.
I have never once see a tall handsome gigachad mesomorph go FtM. Even in the case of musclebeasts like Matt Kroc, he was short (5'9") and so you can imagine how he did not feel validated as a man. These are symptoms of people who spiral because we are too critical of suboptimal males and finding them hope for the future and a place of respect in our society.
