They probably used to be awkward loners and so ID photos are the only photos of themselves pre-transition they had. Now of course they're stunning and brave, have a premade community and love documenting their experiments in passing so they have loads of photos.
The British government has actually issued a full pardon and an apology to all the gay men they arrested, imprisoned or forced to take synthetic oestrogen. Of course, the AGPs
love a "forced sissification" storyline so probably love the horror of a man being forced to take HRT and developing breasts against his will.
This is such a non issue. They have to "out" themselves by putting down their pronouns. If they're still an "egg", then they don't want people to know they're secretly trans and so irl everyone would be referring to them as the "wrong" pronouns anyway... and if they want to have the "right" pronouns used then they have to out themselves anyway. So what is it, Rose? Do you want people to call you the "right" pronouns or do you want people to not know that you're trans?
It's not the first time something like this has happened. About a decade ago they were demanding you write "trans
* community". Obviously nerdy trans women went for the "*" in the sense of a wildcard indicator on a computer (as in "trans*" = "trans
sexual", "trans
gender") despite this not being how English orthography works... but anyway the idea was that this would be more inclusive to include the nascent non-binary people (who generally called themselves "genderqueer" or "agender" back then) and people who "weren't cis but didn't want to be labelled transgender either". It was around the time this graphic was circulating students unions:

The Gender Book (2010).
The Oxford English dictionary even added "trans*" as a word. Of course this was just in time for people to decide that actually problematic because it implied that some people weren't "trans enough" for the normal label. You'll also notice that this is also when the community decided some people actually
weren't trans enough - suggesting feminine men, masculine women or drag performers are transgender is now
transphobic and in fact drag queens and feminine presenting men like Harry Styles are appropriating trans people and need to be stopped (unless they then claim to be trans). So it marches on in clown world.

) to sexual desire is jealously coveting the woman's femininity, which must be a total mindfuck for the woman.
