Yep, it's a good old DM article I'm afraid.

Being a man was too much hard work, so I became a woman: Inside the transmaxxing trend where men swap gender to get 'female' benefits like cheaper car insurance, free meals and sex | Daily Mail Online

I've not started a post in this section before, so apologies but I saw the headline and thought it would be one to share. "Transmaxxing" is a thing in incel culture and I know has been discussed here before. So yeah, being a woman is also now meaning you have failed at being a man 😡

Haven't read the article, but my life would have been easier in various ways if I'd been a man.

If these men can get me cheaper car insurance let them have at it!

Yeah it's so much easier to be a woman, isn't it🙄

Only if you're not a real woman with a female body.

There are some incredibly deluded people in this world.

You can boil that article down to: sad basement dwellers looking to have a “high value man” (presumably a gay man) step in and make life easier for them.

I find it hilarious that straight men who are failing at being men think that things will suddenly change for the better if they pretend to be women. That the men who are willing to have sex with them do so because they see them as now being women, when in reality they are men who’ve hidden their gayness and still see the TWs as men!

I haven’t read the article but the car insurance is a load of bollocks. Gender neutral pricing for insurance came in on 21st December 2012.

Not going to read the article, but just the headline has made me feel there aren't enough eyerolls in the world.
