On the internet maybe. In my experience, not usually. It's a distinct demographic which has been overlapped by gays due to their heavy media involvement and focus.

There's a lot of gay "transtrenders" who basically just say "call me a girl" and leave it at that. The ones cutting their dicks off and taking experimental hormones tend to be of a distinct type of mental illness which isn't gay.

Hard to explain, but basically the normal gay people don't broadcast their attractions. Transgender people broadcast it entirely.

Maybe that's what happened when gay marriage was a constant issue, so it appears to be the same people. Either way, they're not gay people, and if they are, then it's the narcissism and attention they want, not the drugs and surgery.
