I'll admit I'd probably be an AGP tranny of some sort if I genuinely thought I would get good results and wasn't aware of all medical problems that can result from transition or they didn't exist. There's also that the whole thing is expensive and I've always been lower middle class or below over the years.
Furthest I went with it was some private crossdressing in my teens and keeping it to online roleplaying, fiction, and porn as I got older. With the amount of grooming in online communities with trannies I'm actually rather thankful I wasn't born a bit later to get involved with the massive amount of encouragement of mental health problems in general and delusion in the 2010s during my more formative and impressionable years. It seems like late 90s-00s internet had far less people trying to influence and groom others into their interests and issues. Even early to mid 10s didn't seem as bad.
At this point I'm just accepting that medicine and science is never going to be able to change someone's apparent or actual sex (or for that matter replicate other transformation based fetishes I'm into, such as age regression for example) to a decent extent, at least not in my lifetime, and fantasy and fiction is as good as it gets.
I'll add I'm rather disturbed actually about the delusion so many online trannies have in how much they pass and it doesn't help that so many are willing to encourage them or not give constructive criticism or be truthful about various actual problems. Reddit tranny communities are probably the most notable example of this. Plenty of threads in the relevant subs that are just man faced crossdressers (or soft looking manlets in the case FTM, but there are far more MTF trannies) getting told they look "perfect" or "beautiful". There's even detransitioners that the LGBT movement doesn't like to talk about or is dismissive of because it doesn't fit the narrative.
>My thing is, who cares if they are "women in men's bodies" or just sexually gratified by being a woman? If it makes them happy who cares?
There are a surprising amount of non-left people who are like this. Plenty just don't care if you want to be the opposite sex as long as you aren't trying to force them to agree with you on the subject, being overly and blatantly sexual, or acting offended for using the "wrong" language or joking about it in any way.

One of the weirder things about this I've noticed is that the only noticeably conservative or right trannies are almost entirely old school pre-internet trannies, like 90s-80s or earlier.
I understand that there's far more LGB people than T, but there's still plenty of conservative, right, apolitical, and centrist values people who are gay, lesbian, or bisexual while every tranny I'm aware of is some degree of left apparently with at best them being moderate left.
For that matter I can't recall ever encountering people who are seriously into gender stuff and pronouns (not just trolling or joking about it) as being anything other than left.
>Tell me about it, I remember when I used to find t4m in my area and I didn have to get vetted as an ally before meeting
Purity tests when it comes to politics and the amount of "No True Scotsman" if you don't agree entirely with the narrative or movement is one of the biggest things I hate about politics. I'm bisexual myself and varying degrees of apolitical or centrist on most stuff, but the times I've mentioned that sort of thing online tends to result in getting dismissed or shouted down. I've just learned to mostly just avoid talking about my political views over time. It seems like most people these days just aren't interested in having a civil discussion to better understand each other's views or compromising on stuff.
Related, one of the weirder things I've encountered is that it's apparently not enough to indicate not agreeing or accepting of certain issues or viewpoints, but being willing to tolerant and polite about it and willing to talk about it politely. I'm not even sure when "tolerance isn't enough, you have to also accept and agree" became a thing in so many places.
