Longtime lurker, first time poster, but this mostly sums up where I come from too on this topic:
I have vague memories of the odd troon rocking up on morning television and the host would ask them when they first knew they were the opposite gender and the answer was always some superficial shit about how they liked playing with the *wrong* toys or wearing the *wrong* colours when they were little. Even to dumb kid me it seemed so obviously and hopelessly backwards.
In the mid-2000s, there was one LJ community specifically for female reproductive issues, and the mods would berate anyone daring to start their question by addressing it to the 'ladies' or any similar thing, lest the tiny number of troons feel ostracised. This was also around the time I started seeing 'cis' and 'die cis scum' everywhere online so I had limited sympathy for these self-entitled narcs. Anyway, women were compelled to start their panicked and embarrassing posts about gynaecological fuckery with something like 'hey superstars!
' because being 
inclusive is more important than the topic at hand.
And now that crap is everywhere.
Mostly, these days, it's the lie. Demanding everyone participate in the lie, and then whining that they can tell we're just humouring them and it's still not enough.
So now I just come here to laugh at the insanity.
Just speaking for myself here, but unlike a lot of people who've given their "origin story" as a TERF, I was never on the pro-troon/liberal feminist side. I think I was in my early teens when someone first explained the concept of transgenderism to me, loooong before it achieved the internet-based ubiquity it has now. I remember my response as distinctly being, "that's fucking stupid. How can you claim to know what it feels like to be a thing you've objectively never been?", i.e. if you were actually a woman you wouldn't need to appeal to some nebulous internal experience. It also struck me as running directly counter to 90% of feminist rhetoric up to that point, namely that we weren't supposed to be constricted by outdated gender roles: girls could play in the mud, fight with sticks, aspire to be engineers or fucking train drivers, etc. Now I'm expected to believe that not only is womanhood connected to all this flowery shit, but it's now so intrinsic to womanhood that it makes you a woman even if you're not female??fuck off. If a "female" characteristic can be possessed by either males or females, then it's not a "female characteristic" you fucking mongs.
In retrospect I'm pretty proud that even 13 year old me thought it sounded retarded, because apparently that made me smarter as a preteen than 80-90% of adults on social media today. My opinions of it haven't changed much since, they've just become more fossilized as every single tranny I encounter confirms my original suspicions of them. I just despair increasingly at the stupidity of everyone around me IRL
