I feel like there is a weird gender role element here which is kind of funny (in that headdesking way) coming from people who theoretically think you shouldn't be limited based on gender. Not totally sure how this exactly works, but it's some version of what is appropriate for someone to do based on what their body is. If you're born with a penis, their schema goes, you must act in certain ways as a male. It is not appropriate for you to take feminizing hormones, wear makeup and a dress, go by a female name, and/or have GCS. Those act contrary to the male gender role. Dudes need to stay in their dude-box and ladies in their lady-box. A "dude" who wants to be in the lady-box could obviously only be doing it to be a creep. And this all comes with a huge helping of denial about a. what the thought processes and feelings are of a person who transitions, b. what the thought processes and feelings are of the majority of people who would not transition for any reason because this isn't actually something that people can be convinced into, or c. maybe they just need to mind their own business and let another person do what they want with their own body, it isn't hurting them.
