Probably because of the extreme measures BIID takes you down, major surgery to remove limbs is fucking crazy. I know mastectomies aren't a walk in the park but crippling yourself more directly impairs your life.View attachment 7302952
I wonder why BIID predominantly affects males?
Pooners are running away from perceived weakness of femininity.
Troons are running towards perceived easiness of femininity. We see time and time again how women in relationships with troons end up as handmaidens. Maybe BIID is just another path to being pampered.

Sample size of 80 and >Internet survey but it agrees with you
Eighty individuals with BIID responded to an internet-based survey we created. For all subjects, restoring identity was the primary motivation for preferred body modification. We collected data about respondents' demographic, clinical, and sexual characteristics. Based on responses to questions about BIID-specific sexual desires, subjects were assigned to the group with BIID-related sexual feelings (S-BIID; n = 57) or the group without such feelings (NS-BIID; n = 23).
Of the respondents, 71.3% endorsed S-BIID. Subjects with S-BIID were significantly more often men, religious, and of a homosexual identity compared with the NS-BIID group. Subjects with S-BIID also significantly more often reported a change in localization and/or intensity of their BIID feelings over time. Furthermore, 66.7% of subjects with S-BIID reported S-BIID as an additional motivation for body modification. Seven of the 57 subjects with S-BIID achieved their preferred body modification through (self)-amputation, whereas none of the subjects with NS-BIID did.
