Hey Todd - here's something that I've long been wondering. It's a controversial idea, but I'm trusting you and your audience to recognize that I'm coming from a place of genuine curiosity.

What if a portion of the MTF transgender interventions are due to individuals (young and old) feeling incapable of meeting manhood standards? Perhaps it's an unconscious desire to avoid (or be free of) the oft-times suffocating standards of masculinity? Precarious Manhood suggests an aggressive response to threats to masculinity (the Fight response when faced with threat). What if there's a counterbalance that suggests that some individuals respond with an avoidance tactic (the Flee response when faced with threat)?
