It's even worse now. In most troon circles a woman who cultivates her own skills or dresses somewhat masculine is displaying "egg" behavior. If you don't enjoy plastering yourself in makeup or dressing like an instathot, well you must be trans or nonbinary!
On top of that, troon circles heavily overlap with hobbies/subcultures that attract autistic people. Videogames, anime, fandoms, just to name a few. Just look at how many speedrunners have trooned out in recent years. They've also completely highjacked the LGBT community. So young girls who may be questioning their sexuality/gender rolls are immediately exposed to troon ideology.
I wonder if Sidhbh has actually deluded herself into thinking that she's helping these girls. I don't know how she can mutilate the breasts of a teenager covered in self-harm scars and not have a "what the fuck am I doing" moment.
Can confirm. Had a school friend. He went to Oxford. After graduation he kind of got lost a bit as he didn't know what to do with a BA in English and ended up doing a variety of shit jobs. He incidentally was at the same college and the same classes as Laurie Penny, as it happens. Unfortunately whereas she was posh and had rich parents who could fund her writing radical ideas already having occurred to others for the Graun and so forth, he... wasn't. In 2014 he made this stony comic called "Love in Space" which he later described as "eggmode" and then in 2015 he bit the bullet and started swallowing hormone tablets from a dodgy online pharmacy.
He has since claimed to have had his balls chopped off. He lives with his gf in Stockwell and draws stony art of dickgirls while probably claiming bennies. He also posts selfies of himself posing in womens' clothing and doing the pout or the "I know something you don't squire" autogynesmile.
I suspect that he was stuck alone in a shit part of London surrounded by enablers and was subsequently gaslit into it. To be fair he passes better than some of the tramsmashes I've seen online but that's not saying much.
Oh, and here's some more horror. A UK charity called Mermaids tries to persuade teachers to refer "trans kids" (read: any girls who play with trucks or like climbing trees or other tomboy things and any boys who are vaguely effete) to it and specifically cautions against telling the parents until it's already a fait accompli. If this sounds like grooming, that's because it is. Mermaids is the charity that Hbomberguy did a stream for. I worry how many kids and teenagers who are just confused because they think they might be gay end up being given the pickle inversion.
Also, I'm pretty sure that the threat of "they'll have to get it done in the back alley by drunk rapists with coathangers" was a lever that was used to reduce resistance to abortion, so "they'll have to get it done in the back alley by drunk rapists with steak knives" is a trope I expect to see deployed in the near future by people like Dr O'Mengele here if she is criticised at all.
