I’m a little complicated. I’m entirely cishet IRL, and not because of peer pressure. That’s just who I am. I feel like a girl and have no dysphoria.

But online, I want to be FTM and gay. So I’m a cis woman who identifies as FTM.

When I'm online I'm a doctor. Anything is possible here.

Just do what you want, and don’t get caught up in the labels.

I don't see an issue with that at all. It's even in the name "role playing game". I am playing a role in that game. A role that is not me.

Whenever a game allows me to play a female character I play a female character. I am a boring white male IRL, so please let me be a magic warrior princess in my games!

I would advise therapy, for you to understand yourself better, and answer the why of this.

Nobody is stopping you though.

This is the correct answer.

None of us have enough information nor the relevant degree to know what’s going on here

Why specifically do you want to be a trans man online?

  • Is it because you’re fetishizing the idea of being a trans man?
  • Because you’re actually trans (aka an egg) and you just haven’t come to terms with it irl?
  • Both?
