I will observe that some of this seemingly bizarre behavior can be explained once you realize that:
1: there are a non-trivial number of closeted bi or bi-curious middle and upper class guys out there
2: a non-trivial subset of them fetishizes trannies, seriously, it’s even its own porn category now
3: many of them are unwilling to experiment with such things near home and are wary of going to the next city to try out a tranny street hooker and risk getting robbed, arrested, or murdered
4: in kink circles there has been this meme going back to pre-Internet pulp paper “private swingers club” magazines that says “in some countries crossdressing hookers are part of the culture and there is no shame or stigma, so everyone is really relaxed and civil about it.” This results in significant numbers of upper middle class white guys with a wife and a mortgage and three kids and a secret fetish that ashames them taking a “business trip” and getting rolled or stabbed in a back alley in Bangkok or tossed in a Brazilian prison for possession of cocaine and soliciting teenage boys. Of course they run the same risks answering an Internet “escort” ad and meeting someone in a seedy hotel in a really bad part of Chicago and maybe bringing AIDS home to the wife if they survive the encounter, so therye are lots of ways to win this particular Darwin Award.
Maybe I shouldn’t be so judgy here. This is a fandom where wanting a blowjob from a cartoon horse is the baseline. But some of these people are off their rockers and the risks they take to live their fantasies show it.
Then again, how far would you go to meet your waifu?
