I used to do something similar as a passoid.
I tried to be friends with hons and people starting transition to help them figure out how to pass, how to dress, how to voicetrain etc.
Not from boosting my confidence perspective.
But none of them actually did any decent efforts to pass. They just always complained that "magic juice" does not work on them and sit on the internet under anime character pics.
Most of them actually had decent chances of passing, not everyone of them needed ffs. But they did literally zero effort.
I even used to meet with them irl, but they all just behaved as a cringe anime girls irl which looked really forced and unnatural. It was embarrassing to be around them irl.
