Are you an unsuccessful man? Tired of having to initiate every social interaction/courtship and getting shot down/rejected at every turn? There are some solutions out there, one of the most radical of which is: why not try becoming a woman? Become what you previously wanted but always fail to get.
As of late, I've been fascinated by this "transmaxxing" phenomenon that is allegedly going on. Which is more or less, not becoming MtF because of identifying as trans, but specifically as a bid for personal gain and to trade a bad life for what they think will become a better one as the opposite sex. There is a small Reddit of 3,000+ unsuccessful men who're taking it upon themselves to get a sex change, in the belief that they'll find more personal gain/success as a woman than they currently do as a man, if they were born biologically male. They've essentially given up on trying to "man up" and conclude that women have it better and want to be one of them instead.
There is a 73+ page manifesto outlining the reasons for why being a woman in today's society is far superior than remaining as a man if they've failed to "measure up" to societal expectations or aren't otherwise a "Chad" in their worldview, their term for a truly masculine, dominant, assertive, and successful male who has success with women and in most other domains of life.
To keep it as PG-13 as possible, their reasons for transitioning to MtF being beneficial is as follows:
1. More beautiful to have a feminine body.
2. Access to the trans/lesbian dating pool.
3. More intense stimulus from physical touch.
4. More intense and wider range of emotions and happier on Estrogen.
5. Being able to attract cisgender lesbians (if attractive enough).
6. Being able to attract cisgender men for physical intimacy (if attractive enough).
7. Softer skin and less/no acne.
8. Live longer.
9. Being able to maybe extract money/resources from men.
10. No longer driven to do stupid/dangerous things due to testosterone.
11. Stop and reverse hair loss.
12. People will treat you better if they believe you're a woman.
13. Less likely to get killed.
14. Access to female only spaces.
15. Cheaper car insurance.
The transmaxxing manifesto has some testimonials of men who've successfully became women and have never looked back in terms of being happier than they were in their old life with before and after photos. They contend that the male gender role is broken and obsolete.
Their quote: "Let's face it, if you present as male, there's exactly one personality that will earn you social approval:Chad. Assertive, dominant, successful. Nobody will be impressed by a male that is meek, submissive and struggling. Such males are not considered gender trailblazers; they're just derided as incel NEETs. Nobody is offering an actual solution to this. Tradcons tell you to just man up. TERFs tell you to just abolish gender. Liberals deny this reality altogether. By embracing girl mode, you actually become free to be your authentic self without shame. Society at large requires men to keep grinding and struggling to keep the lights on, so obviously no serious and respectable person will encourage you to just drop down the pink vortex, but it's possibly the only thing that will actually help you if you're stuck being a shitty male with no prospects."
In addition, they discourage FtM transition because their conjecture is that this harms fertility and reproduction for our species and makes the world less beautiful, and that the end result is more beneficial if there are more MtF people but fewer FtM people out there.
Given the emergence of this recent rabbit hole, what do you make of it? Do you know anyone who's doing this online or in real life? Do you expect it to remain niche or become a bigger trend in the coming years? If it is a cry for help, what could possibly be done to keep men from giving up on being men? Are some or all of the reasons they give for it being more advantageous as a woman, valid or not?
I'm very much against sex changes in general, but do concede that it seems more viable to do MtF than FtM with our current medical technology/practices. I can't imagine going for something that is too permanent in that there is "no going back" after a certain point once it has been done. I'm very dissatisfied with what is expected of men from women and larger society, but I'm the sort to never give up my body for the world. What is your experience in terms of it being more positive or negative to be the sex/gender that you are?
