Off-Topic Troon sightings in the wild

[Mandy Stroyer]

Happened at Costco a few weeks ago.

Clocked immediately though he was facing away and at the other end of the aisle. Manlet with the typical mop of frizzy, mousy, just past shoulder length hair. Purple zip up hoodie and pink knee length skirt with white leggings and new balances, bearing an uncanny resemblance to the fashion taste of a nonverbal sperg girl I knew in 4th grade. It was the hunched posture and man hands that gave him away, hands are usually how I immediately clock as there's no surgery for those big mitts.

Sure enough as I got within a safe viewing distance, a 30-something year old man (possibly late 20s but you know how haggard they can be) with enough hairs on his face to warrant the purchase of the gillettes a few aisles over. The sterile lights of the establishment cast a very bright glow on his grease soaked receding hairline he desperately tried to cover with a comb-over side part. I was thankfully too congested to get a whiff of the beast walking past and instead, once he noticed me staring, gave him a bottom-to-top visual pat down, grimaced, and grabbed my rice.

I've been seeing quite a few recently.
I've just stopped being so fucking lazy and depression pit-y of late, so have been venturing further afield to gigs etc up in the main bit of the city.

And taking a couple of years basically away, then reappearing, it's starkly obvious to see.
Now, at any underground music thing, at least several of the performers-more so than the general punters, are troons. MTF to be specific.
It's just really odd. From ones which were quite famous faces and in their 40s now, to newbies.
They tend to be nice, they just seem sad.

That's a thing with troons really, I rip them on here, but irl I just feel sorry for them.
Even at their worst, and most unfriendly, the FTMs are a bit spiky but cna be opened up, and the MTFs are a bit sulky and jealous.. Both are guarded I think. But often they are friendly either at first or with a bit of kindness.
I just fucking feel for them. Because these are all young people misled, not the Old Creep type who happily I haven't interacted with face to face the same way.

Also I began to realise how little most people realise they are even trying to be women. My mother, who would be nice enough to any troon but like, other women her age, has the general, not terribly investigated, natural reactions that would get her classified as a terf..
We've talked about it a little bit so I assumed her trannydar would pick up what I think of as blatant examples.
Not so.
In the bargain shop in the shitty end of town-
The troon I've mentioned here before, fried yellow hair, uncomfortable tight dowdy clothes, my little pony key chain-the choice to work on a til and thus be inflicted by an endless tide of strangers having short, formalised and thus often genderised interactions - we saw him
Now last time I mentioned him, I mentioned that it was strange that he would come from Canada or the US and work a shit tier job and that maybe he must have married some discord local troons-
More fool me!
Tricked by good old fashioned, autists-speaking-like-muh-anime-dub, again-he's not fucking American at all. Got enough words out of him at this point to know it.
He just talks like that. Anyway.

We approach this til.
I thought it didn't need to be said.

But the whole time, my mam is being really friendly, and overly helpful, I think picking up on the wounded animal vibe, but it's hand Him that, get the change from the nice lad, he he he, him him him, all the way through.
I am so embarrassed.
As we walked out of the shop I whispered
Mam, that man....uhh would like to think he was a woman...?
Her, volume 10-HIM? Lol no. Really? - Tries to look back around.

Luckily she is a pint sized mam so I just bodily bundle her out onto the street at this point.

I never thought I gave a fuck and she did it in total well meaning ignorance but that made it so much worse.
I shouldn't care, that will be that troons same experience 8 times an hour, his entire life.
I am gonna have to give her a Troon Minute Warning in future.

The lesson is never expect your accomplice to have the 'dar tuned up to expectations.
If you are eg on a train and want to gossip about one you see, point them out before they get off, because you may find yourself in the annoying position of your friend not even noticing what they were trying to do, if you wait for them to get off to say anything.

I went to see the Rocky Horror stage show recently and was actually surprised how few trannies were in attendance. There was one very obvious one, a great big fridge of a guy in a short dress and corset, and I had to restrain myself from staring at his chest. He had these two very sad masses of SOMETHING balanced atop the corset - they looked too big to be plain old fat-guy moobs but they also didn't look like implants. I can only guess they were chemically enhanced and dropped like clown hats filled with shot-putts when he took that corset off. I was just mesmerised by how they sat so flatly where most normal female tits would be lifted and defined.

The other day I was sitting at a restaurant waiting for my takeout. In front of me is this tall girl. I would say she's around 6'0 from approximation. I was looking at her because her extraordinary height, thinking 'damn, do all tall girls look this manly?' and then after a couple minutes I hear him speak in man voice and that was when I realized it was a tranny.

Holy shit man. They DO pass. I was staring at him for a bit trying to clock whether it was a tranny from the visuals and I failed. He look like a normal girl except his shoulders are wider and hips narrower, but not enough to tell whether it's a man or an unfortunate looking girl.

 

[Procrastinhater]

I wish I could say I said something cool and based but I was both infuriated and embarrassed with how they were treating me like I was a retarded child.

When she said "I'm a man" you should have just said "of course you are" with the biggest shit eating grin you can muster.

 

[World Famous Quasi Payer]

Holy shit man. They DO pass.

You should have gotten a pic and posted with a control (a real girl who is tall). I'm willing to bet that your "passing troon" doesn't pass. None of them do. You need to get your gaydar checked bro.

As an elder Kiwi, I find a good old patronising ‘how fashionable!’ often has excellent responses

You have a good heart and seem like a sweet person, you just made me realize how much of a giant asshole I am because I would have found that fucking hillarious and been smirking at the Troon like Pennywise the Clown.

What. The. Fuck.

This can't be real. Dave Bautista is a fucking Transvestite?
Lmfao.

Not even gaydar, more like Mandarr.

I'll see myself out.

 

[Bloo]

99.99% sure I saw one at the dentist earlier. At first I saw him from the back and thought maybe just a tall woman but he turned around and… yeah. I did stare and think he realised but turned away quickly because I didn’t want to start shit. He was just making an appointment for a check up so didn’t do/say anything unusual. He and a guy at the grocery store a few years back are the only obvious ones I’ve seen where I live.

We need to start compiling a list of troon-friendly establishments to be wary of. Lush, Ulta, and Starbucks are all on my list. Target is a good one too.

The cashier at my local Target was a huge troon hon that made me kinda sick to look at.

I've noticed whenever I go to Target it's full of troons. More the pooner/unfortunate NB looking girl type rather than hons though. I know they’re troons, too, cos they all got pronouns on their name tags.

Wonder why they all work there though?

Yeah I think it might be a combination of me sitting down so the perspective is distorted and that 6'0 girls are rare around these parts so I failed to register him as one. They never pass next to the real thing.

 

[indomitable snowman]

Recently saw a tranny, pooner, and chaser/groomer out and about.

A man and his wife walking about. the man had a shirt that said something like "you have to get through me first" in the tranny flag colors. His wife looked normal, so maybe they have a trans kid. No normal person would ever wear a shirt like that unless they were a chaser or had a trans kid.

A TIM, he was wearing lipstick, makeup, his grandmas shawl, and, dangly earrings. Oh and he had 5 o'clock shadow.

A TIF, she looked to be with her lesbian partner. She was shorter than her girlfriend, fat, and also had a bad facial hair. I would have thought short butch lesbian were it not for the facial hair.

Was at a goodwill after work and saw two troons out shopping. They looked like a pair of cartoon villains... one was tall and thin, very menacing looking, and the other looked like Baron Harkonnen in an overall dress with pigtails. The thin one might have been the most repulsive tranny I have ever seen in my life. He looked like a cartoon rapist wearing the skin and clothes of a pornified 2012 tumblr lesbian. It was a sight to behold.

They stayed in the women's department most of the time, but when I was crouching down looking through the VHS tapes, the Baron walked up behind me, and I heard the two talking to each other in their nerdy man-voices. As far as I can tell they were transbians (read: AGPs) out uwu girl shopping. One told the other his look was "totally butch".

It was kind of a visual marvel. Rarely do you see people who just make your skin crawl like that.

Saw a pooner in my surgery waiting room. She had the nose ring, carefully tattered jeans, and a shitty Shein denim vest with SJW slogans painted on it with cheap acrylic paint, amongst them a rainbow in the troon colours and ACAB.

I didn't want to have go to the trouble of having to find a new doctor, so unfortunately I had to suppress the over powering urge to shake her silly while screaming, "THIS IS AUSTRALIA, YOU PATHETIC WANNABE!"

Oh god, the thought of the smell of being stuck in a humid doctors waiting room with that thing (in the warmer Australian days too) makes my stomach turn.

Please tell me you’re not in NSW

 

[glass_houses]

Please tell me you’re not in NSW

Nope, QLD. Unfortunately we have our own troon infestation going too.

 

[Snack Cracker]

In the voting line I saw an ugly man wearing a pastel striped shirt that was absolutely too tight, I realized those weird oversized droopy pecs were supposed to be tits.
The shoulder length straggly hair was supposed to be pretty lady hair.
Man eyebrows, bad eyeshadow, five a clock shadow.
I looked at him long enough that he knew I clocked him lmao, I’m sure he’ll write on Reddit about the evil camo clad terf that either wanted to fuck him or was jealous of him in the voting line.

Buddy I don’t give two shits, and I knew what I was voting before I walked in.
But seeing those disgusting protruding nipples, very shameful, felt so good about voting

I think that users's actually a steroid addicted self-hating lesbian and/or former pedo victim who waffles in between trooning and not.
