The hill I'll probably die on is that the Trans community is made up of a specific off-shoot of untreated histrionic personality disorder.
Histrionic personality disorder is characterized by constant attention-seeking, emotional overreaction, and seductive behavior. People with this condition tend to overdramatize situations, which may impair relationships and lead to depression. Yet they are highly suggestible, easily susceptible...

It's more diagnosed in women than in men due to our culture, but it seems to me that, if left untreated, would be an easy way for an attention-seeking man to check all his boxes. (Not to say that FTM trans are not also sufferers of the disorder, but us women do love to jump on an already moving train.)
Think about it. You become a minority who is oppressed, giving you the ability to find trouble and strife around every corner. You appeal to other HPD suffers sexually, even if unattractive and with a lazy eye, simply due to your similar eccentricities. You are given free reign by our liberal society to demand things and "advocate" for your community, giving you a pedestal on which to sit and declare your superiority.
It's an HPD's wet girldick dream. The gender dysphoria most seem to experience can easily be attributed to this disorder's push for the individual to be "different" and "stand out". All of the other boys are doing "BOY" things, I must be different. I must stand out. When they are outcasted for this decision, that feeling of ostracism is confused with dysphoria of gender.
With the BLM movement taking wind in recent years and white people being placed on the time-out chair, it seems like the perfect storm for HPD to develop in this manner. White men make up the majority of the vocal trans community and they were unable to speak without being silenced based on their "privilege". I personally think that if it was socially acceptable to be trans-racial instead of transgender, they would have taken that route instead. It would have more easily checked those boxes. Alas, you must instead cut your dick off.
