I don't get it. If you are a billionaire, you'd have women (or men, whatever you like) throwing themselves at your junk. Why take the risk? You won at life, just enjoy banging everything that moves my dude. You could have a micro penis and still have people begging to do ungodly perverted things to it if you have that kind of money. Never satisfied I guess.

Because gender affirming care, or rather needing it, is so strong.

It's because a normal person would hit a few tens of millions and call it a day, retire, spend time with their family. The internal drive that creates a billionaire also prevents them from ever being happy or satisfied in any meaningful way. I think it's similar to how a psychopath is incapable of empathy, it's pathological.

I have a theory that very few, if any, of these people are happy.

Its easier to accept our crappy hamster bodies when we dont have enough money to think we can change that reality

Billionaires are as insecure and self centered as anyone. Part of the problem really and why rich people should be paying more taxes.

Because when you have so much, any and every hit to the ego feels that much worse, and the concept that something could exist that can't be fixed by throwing money at it seems impossible.

billionaires are not like us, just like psychopaths are not like us. I wonder if they even have souls if souls exist.. probably exchanged it for money.
