After facing years of relentless hard work, a man decided to transition, claiming it allowed him to access female benefits.
The transmaxxing trend is gaining attention online.
Some men, frustrated with dating and societal expectations, are choosing to transition to female. They believe that being a woman provides advantages such as cheaper car insurance, free meals, and an easier dating life.
The transmaxxing manifesto: Key beliefs
The movement’s core beliefs are outlined in the ‘Transmaxxing Manifesto’ by anonymous leader Vintologi. The manifesto claims that female aesthetics offer advantages. It states that women can use their appearance to gain resources from men.
Another argument is that transitioning grants access to female spaces. The manifesto describes these spaces as cleaner and more comfortable. It also argues that men are often seen as ‘disgusting’ compared to women.
One section of the manifesto states: ‘Not everyone can be successful and independent. Some individuals need to just be subservient to a master. They exist to be used and give pleasure to other people.’
‘This will be the end station for some individuals that transitioned from male to female. Better than homelessness, I suppose.’
Additionally, Transmaxxing reinforces traditional gender roles. The manifesto states that some individuals should be ‘subservient’ and exist to ‘give pleasure’ to others. It suggests that transitioning from male to female is preferable to homelessness for some.
Real-life experiences: Sammy’s story
A transmaxxer named Sammy shared her experience in the documentary “Transmaxxer Life Uncovered”.
Sammy described men as dominant, successful, and confident. She admitted that she did not fit this description before transitioning.
She viewed her past self as ‘incel-esque’ and ‘isolated.’ Since transitioning, she has received free meals, drinks, and now has a steady boyfriend. Sammy admitted that she did not want to work long hours or train to become a ‘true man.‘
Looking back at an old fishing trip photo, Sammy said, ‘It wasn’t a great time in my life. I wouldn’t look at that and think, “Yeah, that is a masculine dude.”‘
Since starting hormone replacement therapy, Sammy said, ‘I’ve been offered a lot of free meals and drinks from men.’ She then added, ‘I don’t want to spend 70 hours a week working or get a personal trainer to become a “true man.”’
Later in the documentary, she joked, ‘I have a lot to learn if I’m going to become a traditional stay-at-home wife.’
Her boyfriend commented, ‘[Transmaxxing] definitely isn’t for everyone. But if it makes you happier, then I don’t see why some people wouldn’t do it.’
When the documentary host brought up cheaper car insurance as a benefit, Sammy responded, ‘You should take every advantage given to you […] I don’t think that’s a primary reason to transition, but it’s definitely a secondary reason.’
Is transmaxxing a solution or an illusion?
The transmaxxing movement raises many questions.
Is transitioning for perceived benefits a sustainable choice? Does it truly improve the lives of those who make this decision? While some transmaxxers claim success, others may face unexpected challenges.
Ultimately, the movement reflects deeper issues about gender roles, societal expectations, and personal fulfillment.
