Why, despite the Absence of a Phenomenon, do I think a Phenomenon is Imminent?

So I've written this book about being a male person who is akin to male-to-female transgender folks except that I don't think I'm in the wrong body and am not trying to pass for "female" so much as be understood as "girl in male body".

Yeah, wow! I relate! And sure, it's a problem!- at least for the class of guys you represent.

Maybe I underestimate people, and admittedly I haven't looked at your book, but based on some combination of experience and prejudice, I don't expect a significant fraction of the women who read your book (assuming it gets published) to connect the dots as in your fantasies. They'll make political fodder of it, each according to her preferences, but very few of them will get wet over what they might do with you, or with others like you - not because the reality is unappealing to them, but because it won't occur to them.

Then again, maybe I underestimate your book. If it includes descriptions of scenarios in which some woman engaged you sexually in just the way you'd always hoped, with detailed accounts of what she did and how it made you feel, perhaps a few other smart women will pick up on it.

Oh, the purpose of the book isn't to lure me in some pouncy women. It's to make people in general aware of this as a dynamic, and give the world something to call it.

There are women out there whose behavior falls in the wished-for patterns; it has more to do with them having a clearer sense of where the meet the kind of guys where mutual appreciation would be maximized.

I've lived this identity as a lifestyle since 1980. The terrain is uncharted and thinly populated and unidentified as a "scene" and opportunities are difficult to find (the internet helps) but as I said above... I've GOT mine :)

You know, I sorta identify with this. I mean...I'm not feminine. But...I definitely connect with the idea of talking, emotion, relationships...versus solving problems with aggression, shoulder-punching and crushing beercans on one's head. It's why I've always avoided guys and most of my friends have been female.

Jerry Cheney A recently transitioned trans woman friend of mine went through the same thing. Her then female partner couldn't relate to her as a woman so she "maned up" on weekends to visit girlfriend. Then along came a nonbinary person, afab, came along and swept her off her feet.
