To answer this question, you have to answer why someone troons out.
Moost troons troon out because they lack a sense of control over their life. The process of trooning out offers a sense of having control over one's own body and what others say about you. That is why you see so many troons with autistic traits; one of the hallmarks of autism is an elevated need for controlling even minute aspects of life in order to avoid a sense of discomfort.
Think of someone like Bruce Jenner. Their body was aging, failing to win them admiration and acclaim. They have less and less control over it and how people view them each day. All of that was seemingly reversed by trooning out.
With this information, the answer as to why the troon seeks positions of power both real and imagined follows: more control, ergo more comfort. Anything will do to reduce that dread of not feeling in control.
