This can't be stressed enough. Even in this thread some people think that it's "just fags" (not the main posters, yes, but some).
I have thought the "smokescreen" is a thing for a while, too. The longer people believe trans is some extension of gay, the longer they can enjoy some privileges when getting near women. "This dude is a freak but at least he likes dicks so he won't try to get sexual with me".
A cursory glance proves that the majority wants pussy more than you (general you), and have a serious case of coombrain, cultbrain, zero impulse control, incel lore, skinwalker thoughts, pedophilic/abuser tendencies (plus grooming) and jealousy. None of those are personal observations, as I stress in many posts, it's just stuff we have seen here. And who knows the stuff we don't know about.
Any gayness in MtFs is purely performative in more than 80% of the cases. And it works for way more people it has any right to work with. It's just too convenient, isn't it?
