You can listen to advice people give you but in the end it's a decision you need to make ignoring everyone else. It really comes down to something simple like,
Do you want to be a girl?
Do you want to be one enough that you're willing to go through transition?
Do you NEED to be a girl?
How do you feel as a guy?
I spent a lot of time in /trans help general/ while I was questioning and while there wasn't cultish I don't doubt elsewhere was. You should do your own research and try to inform yourself as much as you can. Don't let your decision to transition be purely based on other people telling you to.
Recommending HRT isn't entirely terrible, because it would probably filter out cisgendered people pretty fast. As a side note, cis isn't an insult of some sort, it's just kinda hugboxy in that by using it you're suggesting you don't have to be cis to be normal instead of implying trans people aren't normal by calling cis people normal people. anyway back to what I'm saying. I lost dick functionality pretty fast when I started and if you're just some dude you're probably not gonna be okay with that and ideally you'd stop.
The cultish push to transition comes from repression. A lot of trans people would repress their feelings for a long time and then regret that they didn't transition earlier in life. They may be pushing someone to transition because of their own experience, or how common it is to repress for a long time. They don't want you to end up waiting too long when it probably is that you're trans. Is that wrong? Of course. They're not professionals however, so that's to be expected. But even professionals fuck up so be careful.
Ultimately as with any community you'll get some cultish people and some reasonable people. Even /cuteboys/ is kind of cultish. You need to filter everything people say to you out until you can decide if this tough road is worth it for you. Don't worry about it being a fetish, pretty sure you'd know if that's all it was. Transition is a lot of hard work and faith in yourself that this is the right thing for you. That's gotta come from you, nobody else can do the work for you or tell you if you're trans or not.
Also be careful about /cuteboys/ if you do decide to transition, they'll hate you if you can't tell.
