A post by reddit user
/u/husbandhelpneededpls (archive) on /r/relationships has recently made it onto Tumblr amassing over 120,000 notes detailing a gay Korean man's dilemma with an arranged marriage. The woman he's supposedly set to marry pulls him into a room and discloses that she is actually a closet trans man and cannot transition due to her transphobic family. Our OP, the Korean man, is confused at first, but some how ends up falling in love with her anyway, because chopping your hair and changing your name to Dave changes everything.

Going through the entire account reads like a giant LARP by some white koreaboo. But you can't expect the users of Reddit or Tumblr to be privy to this, so of course, the outpouring of support was massive.
Link to the actual thread. (archive) Unfortunately the post was locked and removed and I wasn't able to archive fast enough. However, the comments remain. None of them are really notable, although my personal theory is that a few of them might be written by sock accounts by the offending TiF in question.
What really gets me is that whoever created this account is going quite far in larping their yaoi fantasy, as several mushy posts are made about their huswife. I am also interested if there are any native Korean speakers that can weigh in at this user's comments written in Korean, as I have a feeling they're composed via G-Translate. It is also obvious that the typing style of this alleged gay Korean man who is not a native english speaker is far too similar to that of a female teenaged Tumblr user.

Even if sexuality worked by TRA rules, why would a gay man be attracted to a TiF that still looks and presents as a female? I have so many questions.
