Wait, this person is saying that this is what you should say when you are explaining to a gay man that you actually have a vagina? Like, she's saying you shouldn't mention that you have a vagina at all, and should in fact obfuscate that fact by saying you're not going to clarify that you're a trans man. I don't understand what this is supposed to accomplish. Can you imagine if you were on your way to bed with another man and they were like, "Hey, just FYI, my hormones more like yours than you realize and I'm not going to specify what type of man I am because men are men," I would be so confused.

It's like these people have never had any real encounters with other human beings before.

EDIT: Also, is she really suggesting that the best way to break the news to someone is to both condescend to them and be on the defensive before even having anything to be defensive about? Get a grip, lady.

No need to be confused, no real man is going to feel the need to say something like that

"Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?" is how her last sentence reads.

Wow. I thought that title was just something ridiculous you made up but that really was a direct quote.

(Rhetorical) How to explain to your lover that you may have anatomy they're familiar with, but that it is not like what they are used to

More than you realize, hormones play a more important role in biology than anatomy does in a trans person. I am more similar to you than you think, and I don't want you to get the wrong idea by my clarifying what kind of man I am. The sooner you realize a man is a man, the better; and it doesn't have shit to do with the dick (or lack thereof) your pants. My synthesis mirrors your own when you break it down to chemicals and biology and all the science you like to speak so concretely of.

I love the unintentional humor of trans folx, they're hilarious 😂

How can she say this nonsense with a straight face 🥴

Like many other trans, she tries to downplay the 'essentialism' of the respective dimorphic anatomies of men and women. Bones, reproductive organs, etc. Features she won't be able to change without considerable effort and expenditure on her end(and even then, never completely and without lifelong complications).

So instead she opts for focusing on the much more easily attainable gender validation from the "chemicals" in her body; The replacement hormones she receives. And perhaps she factors in the so-called science of trans brains that she may believe she is subject to.

For that reason, she claims that her biological makeup matches that of a male's. And sure, while some features(voice, body hair, fat structure and distribution) may change to be more 'male-like' from HRT, the most integral aspects of her won't. She'll instead mainly irreparably harm her body the longer she carries on with replacement, precisely because her "synthesis" is so intrinsically female rather than male.
