>>17 Because I realise that calling myself a woman in no way helps me in achieving my desire. I would much rather be an afab who likes to be called by male pronouns than a "trans woman", in fact, being an afab who likes to be referred by male pronouns wouldn't be any worse than being a cis woman. I also have no desire to follow gender norms or be seen as female by society. All I want is to be sexually attracted to myself. Although it wouldn't completely satisfy me, stuff like HRT could help, but I don't think it would be enough to make a real difference since my face is already too masculine, and also I don't want to have a lower libido. HRT also happens to be completely unrelated to what I call myself. If you're wondering why I called myself a man, well, I think it's useful for there to be casual words to refer to someone's sex, so I'd like it if the words man and women kept referring to people's sex rather than being completely useless words that have no meaning other than "someone who likes being called by this word". I referred to myself as a man because me being male is important context when I say I want to be female (being a female who wants to be female wouldn't really be a problem).
