I'm pretty sure that the main reason people don't feel comfortable around troons has more do the with the fact the majority of troons are gross weirdos, who you have to walk on eggshells around and have very little personality outside of troon shit.
Bullshit.
Gender isn't performative. An overly dolled up troon trying to pass is not going to make the average woman sit there and think, huh- maybe I need to cake on 30 lbs of make-up, dress like a whore, talk like I lack a brain and
like this, in order to be seen as more of a female. A born woman is just a woman, she's not performing anything. The average woman does not EVER have a moment in the day where they question if they're a woman, or if they aren't performing their femininity properly, they just are and they are sound in that knowledge.
I'm a bio female who works in a male dominated career. The extent of my makeup is nail polish. I don't even own a dress, skirts (lol), or pair of heels. I'm still a woman and I'm still feminine because I am biologically female and I am more woman / feminine than any troon as a result of that, even though I don't dress like I got in a fight with a showgirls closet, have 10,000's of dollars spent on plastic surgery, or wear enough makeup that I've killed several thousand Indian children from the amount of mica slathered on my face.
The only people performing anything are troons. You can take the troon whose the 'most passing' in a video and photos and when you take away their lighting and their carefully styled surroundings, they are still very obviously men. You put them next to the average woman with no or minimal makeup and it almost always becomes more obvious, even in the most passing of troons people can still tell there's something off about them because humans have evolved to notice these sorts of things- off behavior- as a way to determine possible threats. The reason anyone is uncomfortable around troons isn't because it makes them question their gender. It's because they're watching someone playing pretend constantly and most of the time in a manner that triggers something in our heads, you immediately get an off feeling because your brain processes the person is lying. They're untrustworthy. Which can mean they're dangerous and a threat, so you react accordingly.
Gender / Sex isn't something you feel, it is immutable. If you think you're supposed to be something you literally cannot be you have a mental illness.
