Why do men want to be women? Why would a man transition into being a woman?

[Anonymous]

Why as a man would you throw away your male privilege to become a woman? We are still viewed as second class property that devalues with age. Men on GAG say it all the time. The world is a very sexist and cruel place for a woman. Why would a man ever want to become one?

[ohsheeT]

I not only ask that question but I want to know why a male wants to pretend that he's a girl to talk with a guy.

a straight guy when there are thousands of gay guys that they can talk to and pretend that they're them or just be them I don't get that I don't understand why they have to talk to a straight guy and pretend that their girl it actually kind of pisses me off

because it tells me they have no respect for themselves so they don't have any respect for anybody else

it's kind of like a person that tells lies they don't like themselves so they tell lies to be a different person I don't get that

I said choose who you want to be but be honest about it don't take somebody down that rabbit hole with you because all it is is a big lie anyway

I say find yourself be yourself and do whatever you want to do but don't fuck with other people that don't want any part of you in that manner

so for the asker of this question if you have any ideas of why this goes on please let me know

It sounds very relaxing to me. I might just be blind to the difficulties of being a woman but it seems like there's generally less responsibility required when we're not expected to be leaders, protectors, and providers.

I don't actually enjoy being a leader, protector, and provider. It's just something I consider my responsibility.

For example, if a building catches on fire, I don't really want to lead and protect. If someone else steps up to the plate and says, "Follow me, I know the way out!" I'm relieved. It's only if no one volunteers and people are panicking that I groan and feel like I have to do it, and now I have to be the last one to leave and the first one to die if someone has to die.

Following and being protected and provided for is what I prefer if I didn't feel like it was my gender-associated responsibility.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

Actually I would prefer to be a submissive man, and I started that way as a teenager as a total "beta male" as they call it and a total simp. First time I went on a date, I was happy to follow the girl around and say things like, "I'm happy doing whatever you want to do," and I genuinely meant it.

I only overcame that and started developing some leadership qualities only because being a submissive type following the lead of women tended to repel them left and right, and also because I have this tendency at least in conflicts and dangerous situations to be concerned about everyone's well-being to the point where I strongly feel that I have to step up to the plate if no one else does it.

[Asker]

Yes you are ignoring the many difficulties including people thinking they can own and run you because you have a vagina. A lot of women like and want submissive men. But finding a man who actually wants to be that is very hard.

[Anonymous]

This is why I haven't been able to have a threesome with 2 guys, my straight boyfriend won't do it and another straight guy won't do it. I would like to experience it one time but I don't want to do it with gay guys. With 2 girls and a guy, both girls can be straight and still do it, and the guy loves it.

Men have become fragile creatures.

[TheSpaceGnome]

The tough guy mentality and risky habits and lifestyle that are typically viewed as being "more masculine" actually cause the body to become more fragile and die quicker. The more youthful looking men who take less risks tend to be healthier, more fit, and live longer, so objectively they are less fragile.

[pethouse]

Also it’s because lots of people have been screaming about toxic masculinity

[NamerOfStars]

Because "male privilege" IS being treated like property; what women experience (socially) as they age is what men deal with all the time. We're valued for what we give to the world; you're valued for what you can give to it. We're forced into government battle thralldom and it's completely accepted; you have restrictions placed on your ability to not be forced into childbearing, and the world ends.

You- demonstrably- are so narrow of vision that you can't see any suffering beyond your own, and are praised for it. We merely point out "we have problems too", and- well, as you said yourself, "male privilege".

[Wallfly]

LEARN MENS ISSUES.

If you switched the gender ratios on suicide or homelessness, they would both become top level women's issues. Men are switching genders in droves. I could go down a big list of mens issues that all would be the end of the world if the genders were swapped.

There's a small group of men on top, but a very large group of men at the bottom. The first ones to die every time. Every single issue the exemplifies blacks being oppressed relative to whites is even worse when comparing men to women (homelessness, jail time for same crimes, drug abuse, drop outs, it goes on).

Seriously, I'm begging you. PLEASE JUST LEARN BOTH SIDES ISSUES. Stop making comparisons with complete ignorance, just because it's okay to do on social media.

Male priviledge is a myth, so some men know they will have an easier time as a woman. Of course at a very heavy price.

I doubt its the reason most transition, but criminals and failing athletes do. There is also a significant group who is simply groomed in to it, I heard autistic people are especially vulnerable to that. And I think thats sad, we should leave people as they are.

[Asker]

“Very heavy price”? Male privilege is not a myth. Men aren’t the ones who are bashed for simply existing and aging.

[sawno]

Men are also bashed for existing, men loose if the woman decide to leave a marriage trough no fault of their own. Men are systemtically discriminated against on the job matket by quotas. Men's rights movements aren't taken as serious as feminism. Men have it harder dating because while a women is indeed decreasing in status as she ages most men don't have that level of beauty bonus when she is young. Men are often willing to be the provider in the relationship, but sometimes faulted if she earns more, etc.

The very heavy price is having to live with the fact they are the immitation of what they wish to be and no matter what happens society will never see that different even if they pretend to. It puts life on hard mode with most people not being interested in dating, you being infertile, having to take medication and maintaining the wound so it stays open for others to fuck, etc.

[Asker]

“Decreasing in status” to who? Guys who think like you? Thats a bonus in my opinion, most women never want to be with a man who thinks like you anyway 🤷‍♀️ guys like you are why feminism is still around.

[sawno]

No, I'm talking averages in society here not my personal case. You are making a lot of assumptions about me here for merely relaying what I observe. It was actually your own argument that women get punished for aging I was commenting on. I'm not a native English speaker and a bit tired so perhaps I worded it poorly, I should have said desirability instead of status.

[IceCreamSandwich]

They don't. Women want to be women. Even if society makes being a woman harder, that doesn't mean you wouldn't want to be a woman. It just means you'd want society to change to stop making women's lives harder. Is that right, or am I missing something?

[TheSpaceGnome]

1. Men cannot become women, and women cannot become men, no surgery is ever going to acomplish that. So the actual question, would be "why do people mutilate their genitals in an operating room?", and the answer is because they are insane.

2. Men don't have privilage in the US, women do. Most guys are not concerned with the type of value you are talking about, but rather freedom, and legally, asshole women get away with almost everything, so asshole men might want that privilage (why they think its worth losing their junk is beyond me however).

[Asker]

“Type of value you are talking about” you mean the one where men view women as objects that devalue with age? That one?

[TheSpaceGnome]

Aging is caused by disease, a lot of men value health, everyone should value health.

What you are talking about is just an anti aging movement, women express that too, but too many of them direct it at faking their youth with beauty products, or using men for money while giving up on sexual attraction to them, instead of focusing on health and sexual selection.

Men more often focus on health because its associated with power and strength and good looks. Those that fail tend to be money and/or drug obsessed.

I still look like a teenager despite almost being 40, and if i don't look this young at 100, I'm doing something wrong/being dumb.

Intelligence is hot in women, we want the smart, talented, "looks way younger than the current average for her years" type of woman because she made smart choices. We want to further that trend of increasing the average human lifespan and beauty.

When you choose us for our utility instead of our looks and sex quality, its offensive. We WANT to be objectified WHILE being loved. We don't see those as opposites, but rather you loving us for what we are, not what we can give you.

[TheSpaceGnome]

What we do have issues with, is things like women divorcing us to steal our wealth, or lying about us to get us in jail, or having to deal with sexual harassment because "if a woman does it, its ok" 🙄 or how women are deemed more important than men in general in terms of saving from danger or taking care of, or how men can't show emotions but women can, or how women can get jobs they aren't qualified for while men can't.

The list goes on.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Women in the united states have the legal right to steal, defame, hurt, molest, screw up, insult, etc without consequence.

Its sexist garbage.

[TheSpaceGnome]

If a man is too dumb to figure out how to extend a person's lifespan, he will pick a younger woman so she lives longer and looks younger longer without effort. But I'm smart, if a woman my age looks as young as she did in her youth, then odds are she will stay that way most or all of her life if cared for properly. Meanwhile, the same is expected of my health and looks.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Guys who date very young women on the other hand, have no idea how they will turn out. So the idea that she loses value with age is BS, its really just an intelligence test. If she's very old looking when old, she's not smart enough to avoid that, and I won't relate to her mentally.

[Asker]

Men don’t value health more than women do, it’s one of many reasons men die before women. If you didn’t even get that correct, I’m not going to bother reading the rest of what you wrote.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Men do value health more than women do, we don't put toxic beauty products on our skin and hair, we exercise more, we more often have interest in biology and other sciences that teach us how to take care of ourselves. Men do not on average die younger than women do to lack of self care, thats a myth. On average women age faster and are in poorer health than men in old age, most men die from sudden things rather than aging.

[JacobJordan]

Because women are the single most privileged and entitled people in the United States. They are so privileged and entitled they have regressed to thinking they are victims of some bs that doesn't happen and yet they refuse to accept the proof that they aren't victims. Women have it easy and honestly I don't mind that because my wife has it far easier than I do and she knows it but she also puts in far more effort across the board than the vast majority of women I have met

[Anonymous]

Trans women don't pass as women (unless they start transitioning at a very younge age) so nobody is going to treat them like they're women.

The answer to your question (ignoring all of the whiney "I'm a victim. Everyone feel bad for me" bullshit) is mental illness.

[Lliam]

I assume they are ultra-gay and want to be fucked by hetero men. Plus, they like dressing up and looking like women.

[OddBeMe]

That would be for a trans woman to answer.

But i can’t imagine they go through all this BS just to attack chicks in bathrooms. Seems like there’s an actual feeling inside them that tells them they’re more comfortable as the other gender. Idk…

[LimitedBenefits101]

Only the mental illness men and women wants to switch gender.

And yes y'all are indeed second class property.

Men have built this world.

[driven159]

I don't know what men you are talking about I sure don't, and I have never known anyone that did but I am sure it is the same as women wanting to be male

[BarryLiverstone]

If they feel like a woman then they want to transition. Imagine how painful it would be living everyday as a guy if you felt like a female.

[_piotr]

You got it wrong. Being women is so privileged!!!

[pethouse]

Not really sure let me do some research on it but before I do I think it’s because SOME men think women have it easier. Which is a large debate.

[Berethor]

Wanting to be other gender is a mental illness, like wanting to become a cat.

[Asker]

Go figure, guys like you bash womanhood all the time yet men transitioning into women outnumber women transitioning into men. Guess y'all aren’t as superior as you claim.

[Berethor]

Aren’t as superior? it easy to dominate at sports if a man become a trans.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Those men are seriously mentally ill and crazy.

One can't change their biology.

[turnpost]

and you are?

[Anonymous]

Women are still viewed as second class property? Can you provide any evidence of that? If not, I'm calling bullshit.

[Slapmynuts]

No balls! Metaphorically and I guess now literally!🤔🤪

[KrakenAttackin]

Those "transitioning men" want to live the easy mode life.

[CuriousMufuxka]

What fucking privilege? I treat anon posters as second class on this site by the way.

[Anonymous]

Maybe the concept of "male privilege" isn't as valid as you think.

[Anonymous]

Confusion mostly. Plus there is the grass is greener philosophy.

[Zestyassmf1997]

They think it’ll be easier.

[HouseMoat]

Why do you care?
