In a previous thread I asked if you could picture a situation,
short of physically forcing someone, where a cisgender man would
have to permanently live as a woman. No one could think of a
believable scenario. So here's my second question: could a man
start living as a woman while convincing his friends and family he
had no choice? Could he come up with a cover story to make everyone
thing the gender change was not his idea?
- The doctor said I have to take massive doses of estrogen.
- I'm hiding from my creditors. I don't think they'll see through
this disguise.
- I'm in love with a lesbian.
- I could only find work in my field as a female.
I know it's absurd, but can you picture any believable cover story
that people would think you're presenting as female for reasons
other than you really want to? I'm, um, asking for a friend...

Someone once claimed Propecia turned them into a woman. I'm pretty
sure it was just a cover story for someone who didn't want to admit
that they were transgender, or maybe it was a fetishist living out
a fantasy. The story made the rounds in some tabloids, but I don't
think anyone believed this person's story.
Propecia, for the record, can cause sexual dysfunction and mild
gynecomastia, but it can't make someone want to be a woman. And
just because you develop gynecomastia, it doesn't mean you have to
continue transitioning.

I can't think of any story someone could come up with that people
would believe. The least unrealistic one is probably the first one;
there are men who are prescribed estrogen for certain conditions.
But no cis male who was prescribed estrogen would actually
transition; he would just have to deal with some feminization. The
moment he started dressing as a woman, people would assume he was
either a crossdresser or trans.
These are fun premises for stories; I don't think they would work
in real life.

There's nothing stopping anyone pretending they didn't like the
situation as described.
As for anyone believing them on the other hand ...

Well, there's the movie Tootsie for a quasi-realistic cross
dressing version of this scenario. But yeah, considering how hard
actual transitioning is, any "Guess I'm a woman now-- but I'm
really upset about it, honest!" scenario is pretty unlikely. Didn't
stop the creation of a kajillion forced feminization stories,
though.

Yes, you're all probably right. I remember the Propecia incident.
The guy was claiming the drug did things no drug can do, like
remove his beard and change his voice. Oh well, back to the old
drawing board :)
