In girls/women, transgenderism seems to manifest more like anorexia or cutting, a self harm or defensive mechanism in reaction to emotional trauma, abuse, and sense of self worth. In boys/men, it’s more a paraphilia and fetish through porn and autogynephilia, but can also be self-worth reaction in homophobic gay males.
Transgender status is also very commonly used by male predators as a disguise choice, to both game the system for sympathy and use for other benefits (access to women and children, lesser prison time, access to women’s spaces/benefits).
In the parallel world where all this is true,…
…Richard Nixon was never president. Instead, president Gerald Ford resigned to avoid Watergate impeachment.
His Vice President Jimmy Carter took over and went on to win the 1976 election. But in 1980, he lost to Ronald Reagan.
…Elon Musk stayed in South Africa.
…Canada has Spanish-Canadians instead of French-Canadians.
…Lady Gaga does have a penis. And a vagina.
