I have two friends who trooned out, they're both people who I've met on the internet but that always seemed like there was something going on with them.
The first guy was an artist friend I've met, I remember him very anti-SJW and cringing at any gender specials. He was a NEET who hated his dad as well as some other members of his family, they did shitty things and were very abusive, not giving him food for example and ruining every time he had time for himself, but this isolated him more from all people of his own blood and the outside world. I remember encouraging him to start drawing his own original ideas and comics, so he started getting to it some time later, and at first I was happy for him to get something nice to distract himself and be productive, but man it became an obsession to him. He truly believed any criticism to his art was a criticism to him, this honestly was an early warning that I missed that he had issues separating real life from fiction. At the end at one point, he decided to ditch me and a couple of other friends to surround himself instead by yes men. He saw clout as the ultimate thing and became buddy-buddy with people with large followings but scummy SJW-like behaviour. He then became a massive furfag, you've seen that one image of how furry porn turns you gay? That literally happened to him, he was bi for most of his life until dog penis became too appetizing. After that, he fell for the egg grooming shit and starting drawing his fursona as a thick ferret with big dong and started going by she/her and plastering the troon flag in every social media he had. The biggest fucking twist was him getting a "headmate", which is SJW speak for tulpa, he started believing he was two people and one was a femboy dog that was also his boyfriend. He never finished his comic because he got too deep into badly drawn furry porn, he keeps starting projects and dropping them. His art has gotten more sloppy and worse, he's addicted to weed and doesn't leave his apartment. I know friends who know him irl and they say he hasn't talked to them since he trooned out. He became just another terminally online furfag troon who is an unironic schizo.
The second guy was also an artist friend and I was closer to him, saw the whole transformation, he was always very awkward around women. He was sadly groomed and raped by a mentally ill woman when he was a minor so it probably had a play on that. However he never got proper therapy for it, I was the first person he told his trauma to without lying (he told his parents when they found out woman clothing in his room, but never said the age of his abuser or that it was rape). He only was able to talk to me because I was more masculine than most girls he knew, but he was never able to talk to women successfully when he started going to uni. He started saying he wished he was a woman for sexual reasons, he said also being a woman would make life be on easy mode. After graduating, he tried finding someone on dating apps but was always unsuccessful cuz he always saw too many red flags on every girl he dated. During lockdown, he started crossdressing, at first just small things like women pyjamas or shirts, but it escalated into needing more. He started getting cheap clothes on Etsy, started going in public getting excited whenever others thought he was a woman, taking advantage of the mask to hide his very obvious jawline. Crossdressing became a daily thing to him, his family invited him to NYC one time and all he did was buy women clothes in secret. His fashion sense was and is fucking awful, I told him one time to try maybe buying male clothes for once cuz his recent purchases have been not great, he got so mad at me. In the end we grew more and more distant but I always noticed how he changed his pronouns, from he/him to he/they to they/them until ultimately she/her. He announced he was trooning out, but something seemed fishy, so I found his Reddit account that he never shared with me or our group of friends. He was getting hormones through crypto as well as DIY hormones, and he insisted he knew what he was doing. He also was posting pics of him crossdressing for horny redditors on r/196 to say how much he passes (he was hiding his chin in most pics with his phone lol!) and how hot he is. I know he never got diagnosed with dysphoria because HRT is legal in his country iirc (TERF island tho), he never went to a therapist. He also mentioned how going on estrogen has made him less horny, he said he used to think about sex everyday, jerking off also at least once per day, and is worried this killed his sex drive so he's gonna force himself to get turned on because without horny he's bored. I still feel sorry to what happened to him as a kid, but I'm so glad I got distant to him, finding his Reddit has creeped me out and it shows the obvious AGP behaviour.
That last story was really what drove me to make a KF account, I can't take troon shit anymore. Even if these two fags are creepy nowadays, they were just victims at first of shitty relationships. I wish I never lost my friends, I wish tranny groomers never got them, I wish they got proper therapy and help for their issues. But that's life, I can only hope one day they wake up and detransition, if not their uncheck mental issues will probably kill them.
