This is another aspect of virilmisia and ugliness- the hypothesis that trans men wanted to be pretty girls but settled for transition, making us doubly sad, doubly ugly. (This was my dad's theory about why I wasn't straight- I was afraid no man would want me.)https://twitter.com/AfnielRealta/status/1368358567007252482 …

I did the same, albeit in the opposite direction--worked out to bulk up ("I hate this, but girls will like me more!" I told myself), wore button-up shirts and ties all the time, even attempted to shave with a straight razor for a while because that's what Manly Men did

Girls always liked me fine, but I really bought into the idea that "all women hate their bodies." Once my body was objectively non-hateable bc I had achieved a sufficient attractiveness coefficient, only then did I allow myself to consider alternative hypotheses.
