The denial and self-loathing here is so sad. I really feel for the guy and hope he can accept himself.

Jesus, that is just sad. I wonder how many others, homosexual transsexuals, are feeling pressured to deny their same-sex attraction.

Also why would you assume that your sexuality would change even if you "switched genders"...?

It's honestly heartbreaking to see other gay men desire to be straight and then try to change an inherent part of themselves to conform to society's ideal of a straight person, whether they try to become a straight man or a woman. This is the damage they've done not only to us, but the very people they've sworn to help

Fifty cents says that one didn't go through a meaningful evaluation process.

Of course people in the comments say that is perfectly normal

This makes me want to fucking cry, honestly. If the TRAs had gotten to me during my puberty when life was hell and I couldn't accept my homosexuality, I could see myself in his shoes. I really hope he gets the help he needs before doing anything irreversible to his body.

It makes me furious to see what's happening to young gay people. I went to a Christian high school and they tried to convert all the gay students into straight kids, and now the Woque crowd is doing the exact same thing to the newer generations. Fucking hell.

Damn this is so horribly sad. And I'm angered at the therapist he had seen to get these hormones and didn't even point it out this man struggles with very bad internalized homophobia.

Damn, that's depressing as fuck.

If only he was a cis woman! Then this would be seen as proof that he is actually a ''trans gay man''. But since he claims to be trans, and trans trumps gay, then he will need to go to a psychiatrist or something to ''resolve'' his weird ''obsession'' with gay porn.

Where is the justice? This disgusting ideology pushes people to hate themselves so completely and yet it's heralded as progressive.
