Personal experience observing certain trans women doing it in in-person and online group conversations, in a part of my social circle that is composed of queer and trans autistic people.
rationalist social circle? To me, that is pretty unusual behavior. I read it as if you meant to point out a general phenomenon perpetrated by specific trans women online that the reader might know about.
I know a lot of trans women online and off and I’ve honestly never seen this behavior, except in spaces like 4chan, where it’s piled under at least 4 layers of self-hate, irony, and sadism. One of the “gender ideology” (i.e. mainstream trans) platitudes you hear over and over again is that gender identity ≠ gendered behavior ≠ sex and people should only transition if they want to, to better match their gender identity. The whole point is that acting masculine doesn’t disqualify you from being a woman, nor does acting feminine make you one (whether you agree with that or not).
Pressuring an effeminate boy into transitioning if he doesn’t experience gender dysphoria is immoral. If you or anyone else reading this comment has examples of people doing this online, please link them in reply to this comment, I would be interested to see how this is happening.
