I think the “anime girl transwomen” archetype is also motivated by a desire to express love, selflessness, and care—not merely receive it. Obviously those expressions are possible as a man, but difficult when you perceive yourself as undesirable or having low social skills, especially when those beliefs are true. Who would give you the opportunity? Meanwhile the archetype provides a role model and community that is very oriented around providing opportunities to express care.
