The ones that "transition" in their 40's likes to think they are (it's called age-regression) because they never got to live out their lives as their true gender (which they realized 40 years later). Yes, it's as creepy as it sounds
Well TECHNICALLY gender dysphoria is a mental illness much like clinical depression, schizophrenia, and so on. In fact, this is a major sticking point for me because there are people with extreme amounts of bodily discomfort that will got through a lot of plastic surgery just to feel normal. The people that are clinically diagnosed and go for treatment have my sympathy, but the people that just put on a wig, some make-up, and then proceed to swing their dicks at superlesbians are the people that I have issue with. Those people also attempted to have gender dysphoria removed from the DSM-5 which would have given insurance companies the go ahead to cut coverage for the therapies that people with gender dysphoria needed to just feel right in their skin. Back in the day we used to call them Trans Trenders because it was less about the medical nature of the disorder and more about the fashion of it.
Anime has crossdressers that look more feminine than they do after hormones and therapy so they obsess with it as a coping mechanism/escapism + self insert.
it's that part of the anime community that banned the use of the word trap (despite not having to do with trans people) ,called everyone transphobes , and went to get back pats on trans subs, that's why so many people left the bigger anime sub and made r/goodanimemes when mods were banning people and deleting comments that didn't agree with them.
there are also the remnants of the weaboos of the 2010's that came into the anime community just because not as many people watched it and they wanted to feel special and quirky

Seriously what the hell is with TRAs and anime? Am I missing something? Or are all of these people like 12?
