ugly people become troons because nobody ever loved them until they were embraced by other troons. perhaps notable that troonism is on the rise while sexual activity and overall socialization is at an all-time low among young people. despite the stereotypes of young people being sluts, the current generation has significantly less sex than any previous generation, and also spend more time alone than any previous gen. i also think its harder for uggos to get laid or date because its just easier to find attractive people now bc of the internet. overall this is creating a statistically significant group of young men who've never been loved in their lives, and they desperately desperately wish they could be. troonism is basically a sex revolt. this clearly leaks out when they start breaking womens' boundaries and demanding pussy. the alt-right, incels, mass shooters, etc are facets of the same phenomenon
I don't know that I agree, not least because physical appearance matters
far less to women than it does for men (that is, women are way more likely to date an "ugly" man and love him than a man is to willingly date an "ugly" woman) - for women, it tends to be much more about personality than looks. But also, many if not most trans-identified men have had successful relationships before, including Tony here who, as Amholio pointed out, has been married
twice and has a biological child. There are scores of trans-identified men who have lived long, successful lives with wives and children before "coming out" and blowing their lives up.
I think a lot of it has to do with wanting power/control and to be the center of attention at all times, with a side of porn addiction and our socially isolated society contributing. How many men who troon out
immediately start making demands of everyone around them, including demanding to control other people's very thoughts? How many men troon out as soon as their wife/girlfriend gives birth and he's no longer the most important person in the room? How many men troon out after being addicted to pornography for some time and becoming enraptured with sissy or trans porn? Etc. (Not to mention the trans movement is the biggest men's rights movement in the world, and men who go trans can literally get away with rape and child molestation without it even impacting their careers, and they get automatic benefit of the doubt when they're said to have raped women and so on, so that's another factor for a lot of these guys.)
But I think it's a multifaceted issue. Just like the alt-right movement is impacted by the increasingly polarized political landscape and the rise of anti-intellectualism (which, I might add, the trans movement
contributes to by instructing people not to trust science but instead to believe mystical pseudoreligious theories about soul genders and biological sex not being real), there's a lot more going on there too. (Incels are a little different, as I strongly believe they - and misogynistic mass shooters - are driven by the progress of feminist activism in making it so that women don't
have to settle for whatever man will have them anymore and can feel free to avoid bad and abusive men - like them - which infuriates them as they feel entitled to women's bodies and labor. This isn't women's fault, it's the fault of men who are unwilling or unable to adjust to life after women became allowed (in most parts of the world, anyway) to have their own bank accounts and file for no-fault divorce.)
Basically, Tony and folks like him seem to operate on the idea that information bubbles are in fact, good. Their side should be allowed to drip out ideas to the public as they see fit. They aren't angry because they think Libs of TikTok are misrepresenting them--far from it--they're angry because the shit they post hasn't been laundered by their media allies for wider consumption. It's like if Mormons were followed around door to door by guys shouting about how Yaweh is one of many post-mortal alien deities nutting out the human race with his many star-wives. It's not that the Mormons don't believe that, they're pissed because it's not part of the sales pitch.
100%. They're not mad because it's not true, they're mad because they
got caught. It's not that they're angry because they
aren't, say, grooming kids or exposing children to vulgar and sexual performances through "drag storytimes," it's that they're angry they got caught doing it and people are upset about it. It makes their movement look bad to be seen doing these things - so they don't want to be
seen doing these things, but they absolutely want to keep doing them.
Luckily, liberals are always ready to embrace a cause under the clearly important and valid rallying cry of "right-wingers don't like this therefore it must be incredibly amazingly good!" because they're totally thinking things through here, so people like Libs of TikTok will be harassed en masse and the drag queen story hours will continue to be protected. Because critical thinking is bad, I guess.
