How does someone get so mentally ill that they start dressing up as a woman, pump their body full of dangerous hormones and have their genitals chopped off?

I mean, I am a depressed shut-in NEET virgin, but even in my darkest thoughts, I would never in a million years even consider trooning out, and I recognise that the people who do it are destroying themselves.

Please help me understand this insanity.

it used to be a fetish, now it's more or less a social contagion akin to a religion.

Many theories, if this is still up tomorrow I'll answer, but to start with it hit autists pretty hard comparatively speaking. Autists don't usually have a solid sense of self to begin with.
And there is a LOT of tranny propaganda meant to recruit vulnerable people.
>uncomfortable?
>feel like something's wrong?
>you're probably trans lol, come let us love bomb you and tell you how great and special you are uwu

sunk cost fallacy, once you start you might as well keep going even if it's shit and itll only get worse
this is also why they shill it so hard to others

Troons aren't human. So, it is hard to understand those freaks

I'm not that surprised. Depictions of future dystopias always include weird body modifications, if anything this is boring and tame in comparison

The same reason anyone embraces a delusion, it makes it easier to live with the ugliness of oneself

What's even more bizarre is that you see these weak ass attempts to shill trooning out on this board, as if becoming a tranny is a shortcut to get you a gf. I mean, even if we assume being a tranny makes you a "real women" (which it doesn't) wouldn't that make you a lesbian tranny if you wanted to date women? Just deranged logic, as if a crumb of pussy is worth destroying your entire body and personal identity.
