transness as an economic symptom
men are seen as the breadwinners, value determined by money, finances, economic power
more and more men are unable to access this value, this causes gender dysphoria, and seeing that the economic power of women is stronger than men, seek to gain that economic power via transitioning. this only accounts for a small but noticable percentage of trans people, and does not imply that all trans people come from this logic, only that this logic does to some degree create trans people, and if economic opportunities were better, there would surely be less trans people. This is also why the bulk of new trans people are trans women. Women don't really need to transition to a man to access the economics that womanhood innately brings. The inability to perform the role of man, which is fundmentally an economic role, leads to men transitioning.

would you be trans if you had a good job making 120k a year? if you had the ability to support a family? I wouldn't be.

before i knew HRT was an option i daydreamed about all the expensive "sex change" surgeries
the only reason i pursued a career was being able to afford these as my dysphoria made me more and more doomer about any future in my assigned gender

This sounds like cope, like you've convinced yourself that you'd be 100% "normal" if it hadn't been for your wealth bracket, when there's several well off trans people, such as at least 5 of Elon Musk's kids, or the many trans people that do have families to support.

Also trans people were just as abundant in whatever before-times you're idolizing, just less well documented.

Yeah nah. transhumanists have been around forever but the technology has just gotten better and they are less persecuted so they are more visible these days it seems

>the bulk of new trans people are trans women
this isn't even true lol
they're just the ones the media focuses on because it's harder to demonize AFABs

I think to be trans you already need to be kind of well off, otherwise where are you getting money for surgeries?
But then, even if you are rich, transitioning is still worthwhile, because nobody likes men. If you're a rich man, yes, you can buy women, but they will not really like you, so you have to either transition or lookmax as a man - two processes that are way more similar than society would like to acknowledge.

Edit: Transitioning when you are poor can, however, work if you have a good starting point. That is why, for example, so many ladyboys are in Thailand, which is a very poor country, because Thai people are very androgynous by nature. By the way, Thailand is actually the prime example for OPs point - you don't see a lot of FTMs in Thailand, I don't think I have ever seen or heard about one, but MTFs are so common, they're one of the first things people think about.

By the way, what I said earlier that your starting point affects your chances of getting out of poverty by transitioning - shows that feminity itself is a very valuable resource, you cannot really be poor if you are feminine, not in the same sense and to the same extent as a poor man.
Bringing this up usually make a certain demographic absolutely lose it and foam at the mouth, so I'm not sure how long this post will stay here.

>would you be trans if you had a good job making 120k a year? if you had the ability to support a family?
It would follow that there are no rich trans people, an easily contradicted implication.

Civilized countries cover the cost of trans healthcare.

This is a popular urban myth tats promoted by right wingers.
Also most women donot have as much economic prosperity under feminism as you think.
The only successful women in the era are the lucky few who found jobs and wages relative to thet degree

>>8722
Nobody likes women either.
Women are only loved for their looks and docility. Once that's gone due to age, they get less sympathizing for flaws or personal affairs
