talking to certain trans people is so sad sometimes, it's almost like talking to an addict. all they care about is the next hrt shot, or the next surgery, or how they look or how they present, and they don't care at all how they're affecting other people in their life, and how they're hurting them.

i've heard multiple trans-identified females say that their parents told them "you killed my daughter." and it's heart-wrenching, and I used to really feel for this woman. but now, I can't help but feel for the parents. Imagine having a daughter who's perfectly normal until her life is overtaken by heroin. Imagine having a daughter who was fine until she joined a new religious group that turned out to be a cult, and now she's not the same anymore and has been completely brainwashed and there's nothing you can do or say to snap her out of it. Imagine begging her to get help but she's so deep in the addiction that she can't.

There was a comment on Ovarit I wish I could find and screencap, but one user pointed out that considering AGP trans-identity under the framework of sexual addiction also makes a lot of sense.

It might start with watching sissy porn. Then wearing the clothes of a sister or girlfriend in private. Eventually, the thrill ("euphoria") of this wears off. Then it's going out in public in a skirt or something which gives a sense of excitement or thrill. This wears off. The high is chased by then maybe taking provocative pictures in feminine clothing in public until that doesn't have as much thrill behind it. Eventually this behavior escalates into going on HrT. Then that becomes routine after awhile—could be months or years. The "euphoria" is chased further. Attempting to pressure lesbians into sex or further invading women's spaces in new ways.

I think for trans-identifying female people, often getting testosterone shots also majorly increases libido, too.

"Euphoria" has been a word used in addiction culture for ages. Seeing trans-identifying people really take to the term "gender euphoria" has been eye opening to say the least.
