I solved this problem by side stepping it and just becoming a girl instead

I don't think almost anyone transitions to get themselves out of gender roles gridlocks, I'm sure there's some tiny minority of cases but they'd run into dysphoria afterwards and detrans rates are like 1% (and 1/4 of those express regret)

I do think a lot of people (myself included) see transition as a "fresh start" and essentially build a new facet of themselves, and by virtue of that avoid (sometimes) painful thoughts of the old one

I also think there's a ton of non-cis people out there who want to fuck with gender but see "trans discourse" as a "sjw/feminist/those people" thing and try to avoid it, making weird ass rationalizations (like r/transmaxxing and 4chan femboys)

they almost universally have deeper reasons but keep up appearances. I've seen that in old friends and it was hurting them a lot. my more out there theory is that a lot of people are soft agender and just accept cisness but sometimes get away from it for all sorts of reasons

Reminds me of Ozy Frantz's "cis by default" post on why a lot of people make up very strange explanations for transgender identity:https://thingofthings.wordpress.com/2015/01/28/cis-by-default/ …

Yeah, I agree with this writing. I want to add that these "soft agender" folks as I've started to call them can transition for a variety of reasons, so they're less "cis by default" the more acceptance makes it okay/not painful to transition I suspect there's a lot of these ppl
