Off-Topic Troon sightings in the wild

the stench

Supposedly if you temporarily breathe through your mouth, it can "turn off" your sense of smell while you do that, although it may make you look "exceptional" as well.

(But it may be worth it depending on the stench.)

Spoon theory has become popular recently. From Wikipedia:

“The spoon theory is a metaphor describing the amount of physical and/or mental energy that a person has available for daily activities and tasks, and how it can become limited. It was coined by U.S. writer and blogger Christine Miserandino in 2003 as a way to express how it felt to have lupus; explaining the viewpoint in a diner, she gave her friend a handful of spoons and described them as units of energy to be spent performing everyday actions, representing how chronic illness forced her to plan out days and actions in advance so as to not run out of energy.”

For people who are disabled or dealing with chronic illness, it is a sound metaphor. But it has also been adopted and co-opted by every munchie, malingerer suffering from self-diagnosed ailments or conditions like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue etc. (these diseases, and things like POTS and EDS, do exist. People really have them. But diagnosis is symptom-based and there isn’t a definitive test for them. Which makes them very popular among the illness fakers. Of the plethora of people claiming these ailments, a small fraction are legit. Very small fraction.)

Being a spoonie or munchie seems to go hand in hand with being a TIF.

Lol its named after an actual theory?

I always thought "Spoony" as a term for munchies was named after Spoony Antwiler because he's a gigantic munchie who used to have a different illness that stopped him from being to upload every month.

All of the based family members have been just calling the troon a “he-she” when my sister in law and him aren’t around.

That’s why I always laugh when I see troons call TERFs the “fringe minority.”

This is how most normies see/discuss troons out of earshot.

I was out with my family for my Dad's birthday not long ago. We went to this beer garden place. Anyway, up walks our waiter, a skinny troon wearing shitty makeup, a long black skirt, black top, doc martin's etc. Massive Adams apple, stringy unwashed hair, manly voice. He drops of our menus and walks off. My dad looks at me and goes "that was a man right?".

Now every time I'm out with my dad and we see a troon he points them out to me. It's like a where's wally game at this point but they're fucking everywhere.

OK. Not in real life as such, but, I woke up yesterday to stifled giggling coming from the kids bedroom. I go in and ask what's so funny and everyone freezes. OK. What's going on? Oldest sheepishly opens his hands and he's pinched my cellphone while I slept!
They were going through the image file?
Finally middle child confesses.
We're just playing a game...
What game?
Um mm... It's called Pooner, Trooner, or Normal...

My kids are gonna be all right..

I don't get where the cane shit came from. I remember a few years ago seeing the odd college student do it and it was weird as hell.

As others said, oppression stacking. But also, giving up the female status means you've got to signal "careful, I'm fragile" in a different way.

I have never seen this argument before, but it makes so much sense.

 

[Lady Bizness]

I have never seen this argument before, but it makes so much sense.

I recently had to chaperone some 13-15 year old boys and Jesus, the way they get physical with each other...no girl is going to want to withstand that. However, the boys are both saying "ow!" and laughing hysterically at the same time.

Local (co)business owner trooned out recently. They had some of the best food in town, with huge portions. For me, one of their meals = 2 large, filling meals that tasted awesome. So naturally, I loved them. I did notice the last year or so his hair was dyed pink and his features looked softer. I thought it looked suspiciously like he was trooning but not telling anyone yet, although I hoped not. He has a wife and kids who helped him start the business.
But of course recently (on tdov no less) he announced very publicly on Facebook he is trans/his new name change under their business page. I haven't been back since. Not just because of this, but also their business practices suck and they close all the time for every reason possible. I was on first name basis with the (obviously lib but more normie) co owner who'd give me discounts and stuff sometimes, but they lost a regular for good.

Troon sighting on the bus today. Greasy hair, pink cat ears headphones, choker, denim jacket with all sorts of queer patches. Midriff exposed showing everyone his fat rolls. Legs spread wide taking up two seats. Seemed to be playing Genshin on his tablet. Had a cane, likely from destroying his bone density with hormone fuckery.

Times like this make me wish I had a cellphone so I could have photographed the disgusting freak, couldn't imagine a more stereotypical image of a troon.

I have encountered at least one in my entire twenty years of life. I mostly hear of their awful existences through the internet. But this strange encounter was a few years ago, a little bit before Covid killed everyone's collective conscience. I was moving into a new home with my family, and my dad and I went to the Home Depot in my town, or another town away. I can't remember, it feels fuzzy to me. But we went scowering the store for something to seal the nooks and crannies of the shower in my parent's bedroom because it was leaking water onto the floor. The employees, as you would expect, scurried away like cockroaches to a bright light at the immediate sight of me or my father wanting their help. After some hours, we finally got what we wanted, and the cashier was a short pooner. At the time, I thought this was a very ugly, unfortunate looking woman. But I could remember that this pooner had a shaved head, their stubbly hair dyed, their ear lobes stretched, and donned a pair of those glasses every soylent consumer wears. The very visage of the "lil' dood" memes I see in the pooner zoo thread. She was so quiet the silence was sharp enough to cut the thickest of stones. When me and my father had left, I had a good chuckle at her expense.

saw a troon while outta town today. I think I've seen them before. MtF. Appears to be in late 40s maybe early 50s. Wearing a woman's style/color shirt and pants. Either wearing a wig or own hair done in a "Karen Bob" (womanly haircut) and it looks WEIRD on this one. Other than that, ZERO effort to pass. Clearly male voice. Dressed like an older Karen. Fake tiny manboobish titties, but the rest of them is fat. Was in the company of a "cis" woman who was dressed to the nines in a really nice pantsuit and blouse, who appeared older, maybe in her late 60s early 70s. Not sure if just a friend, relative, or something else but they didn't appear to act like a "couple". The troon was at one point whining about men oppressing women, blacks being oppressed by slavery, and a bunch of other woke nonsense. Not especially loudly, but I have really good hearing.

And if none of that was a clue, they didn't take their purse with them when they went to the Ladies Room.

Since there isn't a place (that I could find) specifically for talking about dealing with troons at work, I'll post here.

We're piloting a new system to send mass communications to users in our organization. As far as dynamically tagging the names goes, we were only able to pull "firstName" to address people in the body of the message. We recently sent out the first batch of these which went to 10s of thousands of people. The entire system went through months of deliberation and review by the higher-ups, it all checked out fine and we got all the necessary (and even enthusiastic) approval. Everything ran smoothly.

Today I log in and see a sternly worded email in my inbox. I won't post the whole thing, but here's some of it verbatim:
"You deadnamed everyone with a chosen name on file. [...] Consistent use of a transgender person's chosen name in two or more major life areas correlates to a 50% reduction in suicidality."

As much as I would like to laugh about troons killing themselves over a form letter, I am a little worried about my job. I'm currently hoping that the people responsible for making decisions aren't going to throw me under the bus for this. It's not my fault the new system doesn't let us tag from chosen name. If you changed your name legally, it worked as you would expect.

Pray for me.

Resend the batch a few times

 

[KPO12-43 Again]

Resend the batch a few times

Don't worry, I have future batches planned lol
I guess I'm doing my part in getting those suicide rates up. Although, I would much prefer to do my job in complete absence of these freaks but sadly it seems like that's going to be impossible.
Edit: If this is all bark and no bite, I'm keeping things exactly the same.

Anyone who believes that kind of bullshit (the suicidality thing) should just kill themselves asap. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you that nobody will blame you based on this made up "statistics". Though it would be great if troons were that easy to get rid of. I would go on daily deadnaming sprees.

 

[Dr. Butt]

You deadnamed everyone with a chosen name on file.

Well then they need to legally/officially change their names so that automated systems will pull that name. Troons of all people should know that a computer's only as smart as the person using it, and if you've got your old/maiden name on file then that's the one the robot's going to find. Tell the higher ups that someone too lazy to type in their new name is probably also too lazy to actually kill themselves.

edit - word

 

[Carnavoyeur]

Saw a typical fat pooner who just looks like a baby butch working at the DMV who was so outwardly female in her mannerisms and body language it made me feel masculine. Her fucking name was CHAD

 

[indomitable snowman]

I'm pretty sure I saw an Asian troon at the ice cream shop. I'm 50/50 troon or very gay. It was super busy and everyone running about so I couldn't get a good lock on it.

 

[Flaming_Barghast]

It's oopression points-maxing, they want to be "visibly disabled". They are neurotic little girls competing for social status by playing victim for sympathy, you know, as manly men do. That's why that don't even try to pass, the point is to look trans, not look like men.
Edit: and @glass_houses brings up trooning/pooning + illness faking are both attention seeking behaviors that they are stacking together, along with always hideous fashion sense.

More likely they all get osteoporosis. That's legit a given if you take T as a woman.
