Why do alpha males transition?
It's not so surprising that small, effeminate men would want to be women, but why do big, strong manly men want to give that up?

Autogynephilia.
Though for some reason it's usually nerdy men, rather than truly masculine men, who get affected by AGP.

Do you have any idea what it takes to live as a man and be alpha?

>but also masculine men are not agp
???
I think it's more likely due to self repression tactics. Overly compinsating and burying the feels till they go away, but they dont.

Masculine men are, as a rule, not AGP, and AGPs are, as a rule, not masculine. (AGPs aren't feminine either - they're "failed men", not effeminate faggots.) However, some are, and they sometimes end up transitioning.

Repression.
They literally think doing the manliest job ever will make them stop wanting to be a cute princess also a bit of hope they will die in a war due to suicidal tranny tendencies.
The problem is that the manlier you are the harder the fall is, the key to repression properly is t become a weeb hermit and only watch anime and play vidyia all day in your bedroom.
Anything other than that and you will fail.

Whats funny is that Blanchard ran into masc AGPs a lot more than nerdy AGPs when doing his research.
So it makes me wonder if a lot of the nerdy AGPs in the past dealt with it in other ways and rarely bothered to transition. Nowadays all the nerdy AGPs are coming out of the closet.

What are you smoking.
I'm what most post people would consider an 'alpha male', and I fucking hate my life. I started typical alpha male activities at a much younger age than my peers, but, with the benefit of hindsight, I now know that I exhibited transgender behaviours (not outwardly for the most part) even before that, but I didn't know what they were at the time. I've always been pretty intelligent and intuitive though, so now I wonder if, on a subconscious level, I realised what these transgender behaviours indicated, and my apparently conscious decision to be 'alpha male' was actually an unconscious defence mechanism initiated by a subconscious that valued repression above acceptance.
I maintain the alpha male facade even now that I've come to terms with being transgender, but it makes me utterly miserable and everyday is very tiring. Unfortunately, anything short of a full transition the other way (which isn't an option now) would also make me miserable since I have a major self-loathing issue which I think is entirely separate to any gender issues.
If I could become a passable MTF tomorrow, I'd give up everything 'alpha' in a heartbeat.

The OP asked why masculine men transition. The answer to this question is ***ALWAYS*** AGP.
However, the fact that all masculine transitioners are AGP does not mean that all AGPs are masculine transitioners.
It's not that hard. It's like how all cats are animals, but not all animals are cats.

Behaviors are the things you *actually* do, not the things you wished to do but never did! >:(

Sorry, I meant not publicly.

There is actually a published paper on this.

tl:dr - repression
alpha males don't transition. No true alpha male transitions. If you knew these people in real life intimately you would realize they are not alpha males, navy seal or not. They would come off like a repressed insecure gay to you, guaranteed. This is not how alpha males come off at all
>>8398827
They simply try to be as manly as they can be thinking they will eventually stop wishing they were women.
Example life:
>get "corrected" for their own feminine behavior or witness another boy be "corrected" for his in early childhood
>develop fear and anxiety of punishment, whether that's being scolded, physical punishment, or ostracization
>start lifting to "man up"
>join a sports team like football or basketball to "man up"
>get a girlfriend to "man up"
>join the military to "man up"
>marry a woman to "man up"
>have kids to "man up"
The shame is the majority only realize when they've exhausted their options that nothing is going to cure them.

Maybe masculine AGPs are the 40s and 50s kind and nerdy AGPs the earlier transitioning type.
Maybe the nerdy AGPs would have been manly AGPs in the past.

Nerdy times constitute most of the AGPs. Their smoldering Aspergism makes it even harder for them to cope with AGP, unlike the non-nerds who find other aspects of life more substantial than Gender Dysphoria.

After seeing so many people fail at it and be so miserable all the while, continuing to attempt this is folly. Just transition.
It's an accomplishment-driven society. If you feel bad about yourself, it's probably because you haven't made something with your life yet. And, for 9/10ths of the population, this is quite true. They chin up when they've made something of themselves. Trannies don't.
>join military to "man up" and escape trans feels
>doesn't work at all because dysphoria trumps old world masculinity memes
>transition because even being the best man in the world can't satisfy a need to be female
Why do people with tons of food complain about having no water?
>>8402060
Autohydrophilia.
>>8398827
Because being a woman is easier

Feels good to be HSTS
>>8398827
Because transsexuality is biological.
They are so straight that they find their own bodies repulsive.
>>8398827
They became big, strong, manly men in the hopes that the feeling of wanting to be a woman goes away.
tldr it doesn't work and then you wait until you're in your 50s

Just do what you like?
