While there's def a lot of MtFs which transition for autogynephilia or whatever something I notice is that a lot of pooners seem to transition as an escape of womanhood, not so much for the sake of being a man.
I know about half a dozen pooners who I've had close relationships with and they all seem to be super traumatized by their past with a lot of sexual violence when they're younger. None of them take T and they're all moreso androgynous if anything and two of them have been constantly back and forth about transitioning even though its been almost half a decade for them.
Like I said before it seems like none of them really want to be men as much as they hate being women. Is this a reason for transitioning for pooners in the same way we have AGPs/HSTS for MtFs? I also think it could explain why there's so many more AFAB enbies than AMAB enbies too maybe. Obv there's other types of pooners like I def think a lot probably transition because of some autoandrophilia too but in my experiences most pooners I know are really traumatized.
99% sure I transitioned because my grandmother was on her deathbed for 3 months and the entire time she thought I was her eldest daughter

For me it's xe/xer

You were still trans. That just happened as well by coincidence and if you were cis it might have traumatized you but you wouldn't have transitioned for it. It wouldn't surprise me if you have other early tranner memories too.

I love identifying as a woman and relate a lot to it, but I have dysphoria about my body, so I take T and lesbianmode. Seethe that I am the exact opposite of your experiences.

>I love identifying as a woman and relate a lot to it, why?
I'm born female and I feel like it colored much of my formative years, I'm very female-socialised and I'm unapologetic about "talking and acting like a woman".
I know that seems like a mix of brainworms and outdated gender stereotypes. I'm not a terf btw, I genuinely see trans women as women, and trans men as men, because I've seen (for example) how irl trans women just instinctively naturally exude femininity even if they dont physically pass.
I also know that someone else in my position may simply identify as a feminine transmasc. Fine by me, people put different labels to similar experiences. Personally, I've tried seeing myself as a man or at least as transmasc internally, and hated it. I dont want to fit into that mold, I'm happy socially being a woman and internally seeing myself as s woman. I just want to be a woman who looks more masculine (using T, lifting, etc. On the fence about surgeries) and dont mind becoming a woman who looks like a man.

Imo, you're the normal one. Identifying as trans anything is abnormal and doesn't make sense.

very interesting. i wonder why there aren't more people like the mtf version of this. maybe they just straight up repress instead? but all the manmoders i hear about would prefer to be women if they could, they don't actually like being men the way you like being a woman. maybe femboys? they're kinda the male version of feminine transmascs
how do you feel female-socialized? how did it color your formative years? why did man/trans man/transmasc identities feel wrong when you tried them?
really nice to see someone identifying in a non-trans way with a trans type experience without it becoming transphobia!
