Do they all think they'll turn into David Bowie or something? She looks like someone's embarrassing alcoholic uncle.
Yes. Look at "enbies" for confirmation of that. Most of them want androgyny, but they want the skinny twink male version, not the fat "IDK what sex and IDC" of SNL's Pat. Their "transition goals" and "gender moodboards" would be pro-ana images, if that tag hadn't been blacklisted on Tumblr.
If there were a hormone that just turned you into David Bowie, it'd mainly be an appetite suppressant.
The "obsessed with fake gay fantasy sex" to FTM pipeline is real, that much is clear. But is it just a result of some pornsickness that women engage in? What kind of woman? This is the one FTM track I don't really "get" like the others.

All of this fanfiction or fanart or just, again, moodboards: attractive men, behaving like women with each other. Most of it isn't the sex, but the emotions and dialogue. And it's safer, two imaginary men having relationship drama and sex with each other; you're not at risk, emotionally or physically. ...But maybe you
want to be part of that. What if you're a guy too, so you can?
The biggest mistake anyone can make in troonology is assuming anything is
exactly opposite for troons and pooners, but consuming so much porn
of the opposite sex, targeted
for your sex, is adding fuel to the fire both of them.
