      The attempt to escape the burdens of being perceived as privileged has gone a step further with the new phenomenon of "transmaxxing". The writer Mary Harrington describes the term as "a subculture of young men who embrace trans identities not because they believe they were 'born in the wrong body' but simply because they can, and because they think it'll make their lives better". These individuals see the benefits that society gives those who are transgender or female, compared to the burdens of being a cisgender male.
