Recently I've been looking at the FtM trans community online, and it's just sad how accurate this meme is.
The FtM trans community is much smaller than the MtF community, but FtM experiences post-transition are very revealing.
This community is interesting because their complaints are not only about failing to pass as male, but also about trying to cope with passing as male. From what I've seen, this problem is especially common with those who have completed transitioning and are attracted to women.
And once they start getting treated like men, they get a brutal reality check.
Many times, they are people who believed in concepts such as unilateral patriarchy, oppression of women, and male privilege. In their minds, they were gonna lead privileged lives once they became men, but when they transitioned, they were like rabbits caught in headlights as reality hit them like a train. Real life was a 180 degree difference.
These people have been treated like women their entire lives, and had been led to believe the game was fully rigged against women.
Imagine you're playing a game against bots, but you don't realize it and think you're good at the game. Suddenly, you get thrown into a professional match.
Fucking brutal man.

He said "like I died and came back as a ghost." It's like that movie where Bruce Willis is dead but doesn't realize he's a ghost, and no one can see him. It really nails the reality of being a sub5 male in the West. If you're not talented, rich, or a chad, that is literally how life can be.
Tough scenes man, truly.
"...her reaction was something like disgust mixed with pity."
Welcome to the fucking club brother. "Disgust mixed with pity." Believe me, I know what it feels like. And now bro, you do too.
"I used to look in the mirror and envision myself as this confident, strong man..."
In his mind, he was gonna transition and drink beer and watch football. He was gonna be like "yo, bitches, yo, yo" and life was gonna work out just like that.
That is how disconnected from reality some people are. They have to find the truth out the hard way.
Just because you'd been told about how the system was rigged against women, you thought you knew the ugly side of life.
But you don't man. You ain't about that life.
These people are so naive. They look at celebs like Elliot Page.
"Oh look, Elliot Page has a hot girlfriend."
You ain't Elliot Page. He rode his Stacy look in Hollywood for fucking two decades. And only after his looks faded, he decided to come out. In a sense, he played his cards right.
He could transition into whatever he wants. He has the status, fame, and money. He could transition into a frog tomorrow with some experimental DNA injection, and he would still date whomever he wanted.
You cannot.
You literally turned yourself into an inkwell.

Right off the bat: 5'3. At 5'3 it's pretty much over, man.
"People who I barely just met will make rude comments or jokes about my size."
This is true. Happens all the time. Other men sometimes will try to throw you under the bus to make themselves look like an alpha, and then they'll play it off as a joke if you say anything back. Social dominance games happen all the time.
"...plenty of women will reject me just for my height...before I even get a chance to tell them I'm trans."
Pay attention to the word choice here. So it's okay if it happens to XY men because they're just genetic trash if they're 5'3, but because he's an XX man, he should get a pass for being 5'3?
Are you really gonna feel any better if you get fake sympathy because you're trans? Personally, I'd rather get rejected for genuine reasons than get a pity pass.
"...when I try to be confident some people hate short guys with confidence...they see it as a person who doesn't know their rightful place."
This is so true. I love this part. If you don't have the looks but have the confidence, it annoys people. They think you don't know their place.
"You gotta be acting because there's no way someone with your looks can be confident."
It just doesn't look natural. You'll be seen as someone who crosses the borders of natural hierarchy. They will feel a subconscious hostility against you.
"I don't even benefit from the privileges the average man gets."
Wait until he learns that the only privilege average men have is that which they have over sub5 men.
I love how he thinks that if he was 5'8, his aforementioned problems would just go away. In reality, he would likely end up just like the first poster, getting reactions of disgust mixed with pity.
"Even studies will show you how height really affects men, they get paid less, suicide rate goes up, more likely victims of crimes, seen as less attractive, and so on."
Welcome to the ugly fucking reality.
As a woman, if you're tall, many men will see you as better genetic material for their offspring. If you're short, you'll be seen as more attractive. You really can't lose.
These days, even obese women are celebrated. Meanwhile, being just overweight as a man is a virtual death sentence for your dating life.
And this isn't only about dating. It goes way beyond dating to life itself. That's the real privilege, how you're treated by people, the connections you make. It's about everything, man.

"I'm a very quiet, thoughtful, and sort of emotionally sensitive trans guy..."
Right off the bat, if you're like that as a man, you will be seen as a meek bitchboy by even the most socially progressive women.
But never pay attention to what people say. Progressive women will say "oh yeah man, crying and showing emotions doesn't make you less of a man, it doesn't make you weak, it actually makes you more of a man bro."
But trust and believe when I, a progressive myself in many regards, say this. If you are emotionally vulnerable in their presence, their pussies will dry up harder than the fucking Serengeti. And once again, this person had to find it out the hard way.
"...if I stayed as a girl I wouldn't have to worry whether I did nothing because I would still be liked and appreciated."
Exactly. I like this one because it includes the social aspects of the difficulties that come with manhood rather than just difficulties in dating. The middle paragraphs are underrated, really. He's spot on.
As a guy, if you're not talented or have a respectable career at a certain age, you're looked down upon by society.
Meanwhile, if you're a woman, if you don't have career ambitions or aren't talented in some field, you won't get dissed by society. If anything, men will see you as better wife material.
This is what we mean by "tutorial mode." Men these days are expected to have the full package: looks, race, height, money, etc.
This is why many men are struggling today. Many women, on the other hand, have none of these expectations placed on them by society.
And these FtM men were not aware of the biggest JBW they had: just be a woman. They fell for the line that men have it easier.
And when they transition, the reality hits them like a fucking train. All the social privileges they took for granted have suddenly vanished like smoke in the air. But since they've grown up as female-presenting, they haven't developed the necessary coping skills to deal with the difficulties that come with being a man.
Being a man in the West is a constant battlefield where you're competing with other men for resources and women.
This is why I always say obsession with self-improvement for the sake of getting puss is a form of female supremacy. All the redpill gurus and PUAs are telling you to have money, interesting hobbies, ambitious goals in life, a gymmaxxed body, turn yourself into Thanos and travel to Vormir to get the Soul Stone, but for what?
The average woman, who is overweight and much more prone to crying than the average man.
"I want my man to be accomplished and have ambitious life goals?"
But what have you accomplished? Do you own a startup and employ people? You got a liberal arts degree, and now you work in retail.
Redpill dating coaches telling you to improve to get women are the real simps.
And the people in this post have not yet realized this. They're in for a wild ride, I can tell you that much.
Don't be a free agent in life. Let the truth guide you.
