I think I read it as much more serious than it was intending to be, to me it seemed like the person was denying the idea of them being homosexual because they are conventionally "straight" now.

If I woke up as female, I am Agender so I'm not a woman because I do not identify as one. Essentially though yes, yes I would, because even though I am Agender having a penis is something that feels right for me.
I know that I'm going to get shit for this from people who don't understand why something like this is important to me, but I'm used to it, NonBinary identities are much less recognized and often stigmatized (even in safe spaces ๐).
I kind of agree, the comments about masturbating to one's self are a bit gross and kind of feel like they are fetishizing trans people, not cool people, not cool.
Not really a man (Agender and Intersex) but I am Male so I feel like I can answer this one.
I have a developmental condition which affects my body's ability to produce androgens so for me I wouldn't be much different aside from genitals since I never finished puberty and likely wouldn't have then either.
Not as big of a setback or difference than it would be for someone else but not being able to pee while standing would be a very big negative for me and I'm not really sure what I would do about that (probably get a Phalloplasty so I can pee properly again).
More often then not I've seen where people who are trans are still attracted to the gender they were attracted to before, there are exceptions but most of the time that's how it goes.
That's a bit homophobic and dismissive towards another person's sexuality. Another person who you don't personally know might I add.
I think the best thing is to be there for them if they want to talk about gender issues but don't be pushy about them coming out as one way or another. People will figure themselves out at their own pace. Suggesting the idea of possibly being trans is okay but it shouldn't be pushy, if it doesn't feel right for them it probably isn't right for them, at least at the current time.
Don't worry about it too much, just egg_irl/traa humor, lots of them like to poke fun at the idea of turning people trans but it's a joke (it's meant to be a joke, though sometimes people violate the prime directive and it becomes not funny anymore).
Nah the worst is when you don't find it relatable or even understand any of it and people insist you do and poke fun at you (egging) sometimes going a bit too far, that happened to me. Wasn't fun, but I did eventually figure out about being Agender (and Isogender) which really cleared up the mystery of why I don't understand gender. Just kinda wish people didn't try pushing the stereotypes so hard on me, was real frustrating and uncomfortable ya know.
Btw I know I'm replying to old comments, been gone for a while and trying to catch back up.
It's only half true, I'm an Agender and I kind of just jump perpetually without finishing the jumps at all, moving through the air without falling and passing through the walls, all with the help of cheat engine.
Look I know you're not supposed to cheat at these games but it was too hard for me K and assist mode wasn't a thing then so I just fired up cheat engine and won without effort.
You sound similar to me, I've never thought much about gender and I dress very GNC (Gender-Nonconforming). Though I'm not sure I wouldn't feel anything negative considering that the lack of a penis would negatively affect my life.
Also ignoring other feminine features because due to my genetic condition they probably wouldn't be present anyway (Have a condition that affects my sexual development and essentially prevented me from going through puberty).
