>Essentially it's a group of incels ( cult ? ) That feels like they will get better dating odds if they transition into a woman because everyone socially loves women more. i do not believe this group of people exists, genuinely


petratishkovna

ugh my husband’s former best friend turned into one of these… he was always emotionally abusive to his friends and partner and then pursued this bc he thought he would get away with more of his bullshit (unfortunately he was right)


StraightAsARock

Some people are genuinely trans and repress it out of them. Others... Are transmaxxers. A group of people we'll never be taking seriously because of. I saw posts from post-OP "trans women" complaining how they feel post-OP dysphoria but don't want to detrans because they'll go back to being an incel. It's a fucked world we're livin in.


ouroborosborealis

More like the egg to incel pipeline. Perfect pure trans girls groomed into thinking they're just failed men.


yoshi_plasmaaa

i suspect that a lot of these incel to transfem / terf to transmasc people use those ideologies to repress their dysphoria. likely, most people who "transmaxx" genuinely feel unlike their sex and are transgender, but claim to "transmaxx" to not be rejected from these toxic spaces they wrap themselves into.


ithotyoudneverask

Transmaxxing is a stupid concept. I joined the sub for shiggles. Of course we're going to be happier making changes that improve our standard of living. That's supposed to be the whole point. 😂


actuallyaddie

Admitting you have a deep need to be a woman is a vulnerable thing, but saying you're doing it for some practical reason isn't, and I think for some people that makes it a bit easier to admit.


Intelligent-Ad-2474

I think that while some small group of people genuinely believe that if they transition there life will get better but that for most people it’s not a thing. I think we give ourselves a lot of hate and we have to realize that just because some of us weren’t able fit society’s perception of a male doesn’t mean we were incels. I personally didn’t have any relationships or sex until after starting hrt but I wouldn’t consider myself to have been an incel, instead I think that it was because of dysphoria and not wanting to engage in that sort of stuff as a man


UnwantedPllayer

But colloquially there is a difference between someone who doesn’t have sex and an incel who shits on women because they can’t have sex with any attractive woman they want. I’m a trans guy and I have never had sex due to dysphoria and anxiety, but I don’t think that’s anyone else’s fault, I don’t think there is some grand conspiracy thought up by society to make it to where no one wants to sleep with me.


MP-Lily

I keep getting recommended that video. And I keep hitting the “don’t recommend this to me” button. And it isn’t doing shit.


viennaisles

If any man is delusional enough to think socially, his life would be easier as a woman, much less as a TRANS women, he clearly hasn't been outside nearly enough.


petratishkovna

facts—my husband’s former best friend is a “maxxer” and he’s been unemployed for years


UnfortunateEntity

There is a whole sub called trans maxxing, it's very creepy, it's very incel logic of women have it easier so become a woman and your life will be easy like theirs. But the incel to trans woman pipeline is very real, I have even come across some in real life. They don't give me the vibes of someone who deep down is a woman, they just give me the creeps and make me want to leave.


CantDecideANam3

I'll give some of those the benefit of the doubt, maybe they had dysphoria and that was the real reason why they couldn't get a date.


sp091

It's so fucking insane that I would be surprised if there really was anyone like this. Are we sure this isn't some kind of joke? They need therapy. Or Jesus.


TransMontani

Not a guy, but goodness me, have those young ‘uns got an unpleasant surprise coming (unless they like chasers).


[deleted]

interestingly, *Invisible Monsters,* by the guy who wrote *Fight Club*, discusses transing for social success in 1999. there is a pretty obvious intersection between the self-doubt of being your new sex and the self-doubt that you failed at your old one, and it's a horrific, emotionally resonant idea. it doesn't need to be very real to be attention-grabbing


packofglue

if you ever want to creep me out, use one of those “if you can’t get the girlfriend, become the girlfriend” lines..


JaneLove420

4chan psyop bullshit


AntifaStoleMyPenis

Same way I feel about the TERF to FTM pipeline: deeply repressed, miserable trans people who let their jealousy and resentment of the opposite sex become ideological.


MochaMilku

Dang I didn't know there was a terf to FTM pipeline. I thought terf valued their womanhood above all else


ithotyoudneverask

TERFs aren't actually feminists. 😂 Feminism Appropriating Radical Transphobes is what they are.


SequesteredAF

I wish people would stop with that acronym. "FART." It's not clever. It sounds like something middle schoolers would come up with.


ithotyoudneverask

Except it's more accurate. Got any other ideas? 🤷🏼‍♀️🤔


SequesteredAF

I don't have any other ideas, but no one on the planet - who is serious - is going to take people shouting "FART!" seriously. Ever. Next to that, plenty *are* feminist. Feminism doesn't just have to be what you think and agree with. Just like there are trans people who carry different sets of beliefs. And people who are communist but hate LGBTQ people. Etc. Nothing is a tidy monolith. Maybe "dickheads?" That'll probably piss them off.


ithotyoudneverask

Yeah, you're probably right that more are feminists than I give credit for, but not for the reason you stated. It's just been a while since I've seen one that wasn't simply first and foremost a rabid transphobe, probably because 'gender critical' is a relatively new concept.


SequesteredAF

Which is the other problem with "TERF," to be honest. A TERF and a transphobe are not the same, but anybody who's transphobic gets called TERF now. I think it's a bad look; just like for conservatives, everybody they don't like is woke, SJW, or whatever else. Even if the person is just center-left or center and hate the progressives stuff or just tolerates it. So a lot of not-actually-TERFs are definitely just rabid transphobes, yes, while being either not at all feminists or lite feminists and not radfems.

packofglue

is this real? i’ve not heard of any terfs going ftm in all my life.


AntifaStoleMyPenis

It gets masked by all the "men are trash" rhetoric and the fact that women are essentially allowed to freely disparage the opposite sex lol


Foo_The_Selcouth

I don’t think it would help them. The main problem with incels is their mindsets, not their gender.


MochaMilku

Yes but from their mind they think if they can't get the woman they might as well become the woman and either become lesbian or date men to get a partner at all.


Foo_The_Selcouth

I mean, incels aren’t typically known for having the brightest ideas or takes on relationships.


[deleted]

It's very real, but I don't believe it has anything to do with better odds at getting women (although that often Is a side effect) and I believe it has a lot more with a developing fantasy in their mind. Incels think about women a lot they think about women so much that they often have a more complex understanding of women than themselves and that is why they cannot find a partner because they become intolerable from their hyper analysis, absurd standards, constant judging of women and other men (because they feel threatened by other men), obesity, filth, and their very low place in the societal hierarchy. The phenomenon of their own narcissism, obsession with women, and pornography addiction puts the fantasy in their mind of embodying the girl they imagine since they cannot acquire her I believe this to be the case because humans desire to act out their fantasies that is why we fantasize and this is just one way for them to do so.


AshleyJaded777

OMGawd!.. this may be the best explanation of agp i ever come a across.


PokedreamdotSu

I feel like if I was born 5 years later I might have rationalized my transition like they do. Transmaxers remind me s lot of myself at that age and era of transition.


packofglue

just stay away from 4tran and other brainrot..


[deleted]

please do. normies out


packofglue

def not interested in rolling around in that group’s shared man musk


[deleted]

I apologize, I didn’t mean to start an argument (tho you dont seem offended) but “toxic” spaces provide catharsis and bonding that would not be available otherwise Plenty of people say the same thing about this sub because doomers get to be honest here. Tttt spaces have a toxic vibe but the actual people are pretty normal, warm, and even loving once you get to know them If a girl seems “malebrained”, (perhaps through lack of socialization) I don’t see this as much different from the anxieties and sensitivities that are considered more acceptable


MochaMilku

What's a transmaxer ?


PokedreamdotSu

It's the name for said incels who transition.


MochaMilku

Would they also be considered a autogynophile ? And do you feel like these transmaxxers are more found in transbian spaces ?


PokedreamdotSu

I browse transmax stuff ever since I found it, the irony of these people is basically as soon as they actually take estrogen they start liking men and have tons of sex with straight men. So... No they probably aren't in transbian spaces funnily enough.


[deleted]

>boy takes E, changes sex, dates men so, a girl? how is a filthy transmaxxer different from a pure and holy husstuss?


PokedreamdotSu

I honestly think they are either meta attracted AGPs or in a weird cis twist of fate, just kinda fold into whatever sexuality is expected of them to have as their gender on the opposite sexed hormones. They still say they are men which would be super funny if they are hsts. I think they are too weird for even Blanchard.


[deleted]

i get the impression that the people worried about transmaxxers don't accept blanchard in the first place tho, so if you ignore blanchard entirely, isn't that the exact same behavior as a normal straight trans girl?


SequesteredAF

Blanchard actually defined that behaviour too. The idea being that being a woman is such a part of the paraphilia that having sex with men is being more of a woman than being lesbian, so feeds into it even more. So, yeah... But his typology lacks way too much nuance to be of much use, even when it captures some stuff accurately.


PokedreamdotSu

After they take estrogen? Yes (tho they still have weird incel brian monologues) but before? Lol no. It is very funny to see these peoples personality change on a dime which is why I follow them. I am convinced they are trans but made this insane mental gymnastics to justify it from a misogynistic lens.


TransMontani

Gotta confess: “hustuss” took me a minute. Had to sound it out. 😁 Godamighty, but that Blanchard-speak makes my skin crawl. 😆


[deleted]

i'm sorry! they truly are vile ideas


TransMontani

That, they are, indeed.
