Man,
this takedown from a few months ago (but only posted here recently) really does hold true.
I don't know if John fits neatly into either tranny archetype, but he definitely tends a lot more towards AGP. He has a ridiculously fetishistic idea of what women are supposed to be, one that any woman has every right to feel insulted by. He gets off on the idea of being a sexy lady, and he constantly brags about how he passes
so well that he's catcalled daily (even though we live in an era where nearly all men have been pressured to avoid such behavior). Absurd on its face considering he's a man, even more so considering he's nearly fifty years old and long past the age most men would be interested in. He offers no proof of this, same as any of his other usual claims.
He also has quite a lot of autistic hallmarks. John has had quite a few obsessions over the years, nearly all of them very male-oriented like cars and video games. When he was pretending to be a woman, he probably enjoyed any attention that brought him, back when boys fantasized over meeting a "gamer girl" to date. Now that he's out as a troon, it's just proof of the obvious: he's a man, and he likes things men like. John also has trouble picking up on social cues, frequently failing to read the room and realize that people are just humoring him at best. Not to mention all the autistic gurning and flailing he does on a regular basis.
AGPs are typically heterosexual, which does lead one to assume that John would be an HSTS instead. However, John really doesn't have any related traits other than liking dick (see the aforementioned male interests and very male body). Rather, John is probably a self-loathing homosexual who rationalized that his love of cock meant he was actually a woman, and then proceeded to have that thought ingrained into him through fetish porn. By his own admission, he was awakened to the idea of transsexualism through a porn site, eventually leading him down the path of titty skittles and a cock chop. He sees his marriage to Frank, another man who clearly has his own load of sexual deviance, as proof positive that he's really a straight woman and not a perverted man.
It's why I can't help but laugh at how desperately he keeps trying to convince others that he's this highly sought after bombshell. John's going through a midlife crisis as he realizes that nobody wants to put up with his bullshit anymore, so he keeps on spewing bullshit in the hopes that someone will tell him he's stunning and brave again. For a man who's nearly 50, this is just pathetic behavior well deserving of mockery.
