I have a very hard time believing most FTM transitions occur because girls are upset about being sexualized or afraid of pregnancy. I don't quite know how to put this; to me, that doesn't seem like, er, how normie girls think. I suppose it would cover certain people but that way of thinking isn't common enough to be the primary driver behind all of this. None of my friends were horrified by the thought of being attractive to men (or other women), nor were we terrified of motherhood - in fact, quite a few were dreaming about exciting relationships and happy babies. I'm not saying my circle represents all girls, just that I knew a lot of 'average' girls, straight and otherwise
I feel FTM is heavily trend-driven. Folks go that way because they see it online, hear about it from friends, listen to discussions about it in media, and admire all the attention it brings. Few teen girls, and even many much older than that, want to be bland and basic. I see many similarities to munchies in this, only in the trans case there's the added questioning about sexuality and appearance. There's also social pressure involved. Gender roles have come roaring back, only now the demands to conform are coming from a different direction - a girl who isn't feminine must be a boy in denial, just like a boy who loves feminine things must be a secret girl.
I agree. It IS trend driven in the same way these same girls would have just been self harming and starving themselves 20 years ago (of course, some do all that AND troon out). Unhappy young women always find an outlet for their misery - the methods just change with the times.
They want to rid themselves of all the trappings of being female, physically and societally. And - I read somewhere, it might even have been this thread - they just want to delete themselves and start again.
I do think some are afraid of sex and being sexualised though. Especially in today’s porn soaked culture which teaches boys and girls alike that choking, anal and violence are everyday sexual acts and that’s what’s expected of you even if it’s your first time.
