Basically, I've come to suspect just about everything is actually about penetration. At least on some level. Unraveling other people's psychology it's become apparent that in their mind the man penetrates, the woman is penetrated, in all things. There is no null state. So if a man is not penetrating, or he has been penetrated, he is not a man, and therefore he is a woman. It is for the same reason that if a man were to for example be castrated, or lose his phallus, many would exclaim "he's been made a woman!". Or they "neuter" their cat, and despite the already delusional idea that an animal can occupy a neuter state, they might say it's been made trans or a woman. It is strictly because they do not have a null state, and the man penetrates, the woman is penetrated, in all things.
This culminates into a rigidity, and a sort of inescapability. He feels he is not a man, and is impotent or not desiring to be penetrated, so he shifts to the other binary extreme, his cardboard cut-out notion of feminine passivity.
Man is active element, woman is passive element. Man is current, woman is ground. Man is this, woman is that. Man penetrates, woman is penetrated. Therefore in such a conditioned and locked up mind, you get bizarre outlets.
The other aspect is again, dissociation (eg narcissism, a dissociative disorder) and a gradual lack of presence in one's environment. At which point, if you're not connecting to anything external, the rules and realities of your entire world are internal, and therefore they're open to distortion and the self becomes more of a concept. I think trans probably here too is a form of multiple personality. An alter takes over after the truer selves and core self have crumbled away.
