It must also be very tempting to see transness as this One Weird Trick that instantly explains and fixes all of your problems. A lot of the things you mention require a lot of work to fix, and some never go away entirely. The type of people you describe aren't "just" depressed, they're lacking in coping skills, borderline or actually autistic, they're in a society that does not exactly make belonging and community togetherness an easy thing to achieve. So the two "solutions" they're offered are "do a lot of work on yourself and learn coping skills and maybe you'll start to improve your situation in a year or two, but you'll probably never feel entirely at ease or normal" or "you're a girl! Just order some HRT and put on a dress!"
Of course, the idea of trooning out being a quick fix is a lie, and the initial euphoria fades off.... but they convince themselves they just need one more procedure, or session of voice training, or a sexy lesbian partner to ease their dysphoria, and
then it will work.
And when none of
that works, they morph into the "depressed troon" stereotype you see more and more all over Twitter these days. They still look like men, repulse lesbians, have lost any normal friends or hobbies they once had, but still won't admit they were wrong about the source of their problems. The failure of their initial euphoria is ALL the TERFs' and the Republicans' fault. Look at this thread:

Brazilian MtF mistakes an American troon's depressed whining as him actually wanting emigration advice. American troon is shocked that someone is suggesting ways to improve his life that don't involve more transition or simply giving up and blaming Republicans. Ends up so offended that he gets borderline racist at the end (if any of your South American friends
did emigrate to Canada, they must have done it illegally!) Trooning out was the solution to his problems, and now it hasn't worked, so he has sunken into a state of extreme learned helplessness that he can't escape from without having to question his whole identity.
