    To try and view this in a more positive light, perhaps if there is made some sort of distinction between "men who identify as women" and "women, who at one point used to be men, but are now definitely women", this could actually help to separate the actual trans women from those who are trying to take advantage of the label.

    Probably not. But maybe.

    People always point out that Reddit is a social media site, and while they aren't totally wrong (Reddit has many of the same pitfalls as other social media sites), there is generally a huge difference between social media and Reddit: social media focus on people, while Reddit (and fora in general) focus on discussion and/or content. Nowadays, Reddit is so huge with so many users that it has devolved to be a sort of hybrid forum/social medium, but it is still (at least to me) primarily a website on which to engage in content and discussion, and not chase dopamine highs.
