Men dressing as women; what really motivates them.

[Teribus21]

Malcolm Clark does not hold back on what really motivates men dressing as women.

I wonder what the guy down the road means when he says he prefers the feel of women's clothing? I don't think he means jeans and tracksuits.

Bet you are glad to be shot of him.

A friend of mine tells me that many gay dating apps are now full of straight men looking for a TW to hook up with; and he also says that a surprising number of gay men like to wear female underwear.

I expect there are different feelings and motivations.

Let's focus on making sure women do not suffer and be harmed. No-one with a penis in women's changing rooms, no unfair competition in sport, for example.

I know plenty. Not all 'trans'. All narcissists

God yes. Now they are poor souls born in the wrong bodies. And if you do actually genuinely think yourself to be female, you must wear dresses and make-up as women don't wear jeans and hoodies.

Had a look at some images of Hyland.....and as you say seems to be getting more cartoonish and pornified. It seems as if the search for the inner female/woman is leading to hyper sexualised portrayals.

I do wonder whether having an overtly homophobic father can push some young, nascently gay boys into female identification. It is a well worn trope about gay men and their mothers, and we all know about the importance of drag in gay male culture......but the trans phenomenon is now encouraging some of these boys to manifest their same sex attraction/female identification in this extreme way. And they want the validation and attention of striaght men.

Belittling women is the core mission of almost all male cross-dressing.

This.

And Malcolm does get it. He didn't quite say it, but these men fetishise women's oppression.

It's all across the bloody Internet. Completely undeniable.

They want to be submissive, treated like dirt, meat, blah blah blah.

Not actually treated like dirt, obviously. Because that would be rather unpleasant. Just deep enough to get off on it.

And you can't do that without thinking that that's what women are for.

Hence the absolute raging fucking misogyny. And, of course, the further use of women by demanding access to their spaces.

And I don't care if there's a man out there who claims it's not sexually motivated. It's one hundred percent misogyny motivated.

In the words of Germaine Greer, "I don't care." They are still male.

Yes, I do know (male) trans people. I can mostly ignore the disconnect until one of the group says "she" or "woman," which sounds frankly rather ridiculous.

Yes I know of one.They decided to transition after a medical discharge from the forces after suffering severe PTSD after the Gulf war. I think you can work out why being a woman may be a reaction. They wear their hair long but dress in jeans and a T-shirt.

I also have a very old friend who was a transvestite/cross dresser. He was open about his fetish but now finds it a difficult lifestyle since he doesn’t relate to transgenderism and does not think he is a woman. He just enjoys dressing up in leather and latex women’s clothing. He is happy to keep his fetish private and was involved in the fetish community. In normal life he presents as a perfectly normal man.

Good point.

Also, back in the 80s, men wore eyeliner, flouncy shirts etc, and looked effeminate, but still knew they were men. And most women live in trousers nowadays.

tbh i am sure there are some who genuinely have dysphoria and do try to dress and behave as the average woman in the street.

Unfortunately for this tiny number of people their existence has been hijacked and mutilated beyond recognition so they are (nearly) as much victims of current TRA behaviouir as women.

I cannot think myself into their position, i know i'm a woman (painful periods, giving birth and an awful meonpause) but i don't think about it consciously and i do tend to live in sweatpants, band shirts and go about my day like that.

She might be a horror, but I still pity her for having an AGP husband

Women: dressing as men. What motivates them?

Don't be a hypocrite now. Stop wearing jeans, trousers, t-shirts, etc right this instant if you want to practise what you preach.

imo this is the (transphobic) "TruTrans" argument.

As we keep saying: if you claim TWAW you have to accept them ALL. Every single one of them. And since drag and crossdressing has been subsumed into being a "trans identity" they can't just reject them for being republican or whatever.

I despise Kristi Noam but she didn't and doesn't deserve this to happen to her. Nobody does. She is still an utter cunt though.

This is a good thread about how society seems to have forgotten what we all used to know, and it's all happened in the last 10 years or so.

Yes I knew one. Older, would be late fifties if they’d lived. This was genuine gender dysphoria rather than a kink. Just usually wore jeans and a top, normal shoes, a simple haircut and a touch of foundation powder. A far cry from the one in my neighbourhood who goes to the shops in a micro mini, fishnets, heels, boob tube, bucket of shit makeup and a long blonde wig.

Quite. And I wonder how this ‘liking’ manifests itself? Because in many instances, it’s as an erection.

tbh i am sure there are some who genuinely have dysphoria

I suspect that for most, especially youngsters, dysphoria was a thing that was groomed into them. They felt bad about something, not necessarily knowing what, went looking for answers or help and were guided towards feeling dysphoric and trans being the answer to their problems.

Who had heard of dysphoria before all this came along? Even people who are 'be kind' and certainly more up to date than me tried to correct me by saying "It's dysmorphia!".

Please tell me how one " lives as a woman "

Consultant psychiatrist Dr Az Hakeem reckons there is a sexual element motivating all trans identifying males. How could there not be?

Ultimately I’m not too bothered about what motivates them as long as they stay out of women’s toilets & changing rooms.

'Trans children' were invented as a human shield for sexually motivated male adult transsexuals and transvestites.

Oh the old 'do any of you know any trans people?' trope?

Most of us on here do and have experience of them. It's the fastest way to turn 'terf' (or merf as I prefer). In fact, I sometimes think the only people who defend them are those who have never ever met or had any experience with any, or are trans themselves.

I do not care why men dress up "as women", what difference does it make to me if it's a fetish, if it's due to a strict upbringing, if it's confusion about their sexuality or a delusional belief that they were born in the wrong body?

It makes no difference what their motivation is, the important thing is that they are recognised as men who do not belong in women's single sex spaces.

Feeling ill at ease or deeply uncomfortable in one's sexed body has now been rebranded as 'gender dysphoria'; though I suspect many nascently gay children, and other non conformists, have always felt ill at ease and uncomfortable in their bodies and/or with the expectations of their sex. Especially if they have a parent who is strongly homophobic or insistent on stereotypical presentations or peformances.

"Just a kink" can have very deep roots. It is not necessarily superficial. It can be deeply felt and have emotional meaning. Grayson Perry wrote about how he started dressing in his mother's clothing at age 4 - and what that meant for him emotionally.....though he also was frank that as he got older it also gave him a "stiffy".
