Peter Pan syndrome. Men don’t want the responsibility of being breadwinners/leaders/whatever, so they choose to be women instead. At least, that’s what my husband and I think it is.
This implies that being trans is a decision. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to choose whether you have schizophrenia or autism or ADHD too? Do it for attention for a while, mayhaps, and then once it starts getting tiring go back to normal?
Not to mention that being a man automatically means being breadwinners/leaders/whatever is a bit of an outdated way of thinking. Gender equality still has a long way to go, but damn, successful women in stem exist and I would like to think that you can at least choose to become a househusband in this day and age… And if one truly cannot find a woman that wins enough to support both, maybe they can just “choose” to swing the other way? Have you asked your husband if he’s ever thought about doing that? It’d be a very reasonable financial decision, I encourage him to give it a thought.
And it’s not as though being trans is a walk in the park. If one chooses to be trans, they’re going to get a life with far, far more worries than if they’d just stayed as the gender they were assigned at birth. Tons of people who hate them just for existing will appear, and whether they lose the right to exist could change in the future…
it’s only outdated amongst college-educated liberal people, and even then it’s not really.
successful women in stem still want dominant male providers, and very few want househusbands.
the larger world still overwhelming proscribes to traditional gender norms, including in queer communities. especially if you look at their behavior, not their words.
coming from a single income family its not something people can choose to do nowadays unless you are wealthy and has never been much of a choice if you were poor. Middle class is just gone.
When we’re still developing in the womb, we all start as women. A hormonal change causes the fetus to start switching over to developing as male, which is why every single man has a seam running up their ballsack. In any case, it’s my firm belief that this hormonal change is not a switch, but more like a gradual change. Some get all the external parts but something might not change all the way in the mind. Others have it differently, which is how you get intersex folks. In any case, one does not decide to live their life as a woman, who typically have it much harder than men, on a whim.

Women aren’t breadwinners? In this economy?
Also being trans isn’t a choice.
