The problem is twofold;
First, gay men are still men and won't fold as easily as lesbians or women. Troons could usually count on exploiting the female tendency to buckle when confronted by an aggressive man, even one in a dress. They won't have that advantage against most gay men.
Secondly, gay men are motivated not by social cohesion but by COCK. Gay dudes have been so cockhungry that for centuries they would risk torture and execution for man-sex. The second Troons turn from 'mild annoyance' to 'actual obstacle' to the accepted degenercy is when the schism turns into a Holy War.
This is more true than anyone not gay might think: cock is the gay man's true and only religion.
Now allow me to share a story about troons and the rest of the community. I really don't like putting labels and judging an entire category of people based on the actions of a few individuals, but troons are making it SO difficult to everyone who gives them a nail of attention.
A while ago I joined what was a gay men's hiv support and prevention group on the internet. Raising awareness and helping out guys looking for a nearby hospital/std testing center, this kind of stuff. Of course being a gay group there were the daily pics of cocks and asses, boys will be boys.
Then one day, the first troon arrived, a ftm. I was immediately worried, knowing well from the farms and personal experience what it meant, but still I was willing to give xir/xer/helicopter the benefit of doubt. Sexual health and all, what damage could be done? And ftms usually pass quite well, so I thought all the mental illnesses wouldn't be there. Boy how wrong I was.
Within two weeks, the troon managed to argue and have intense, visceral online fights with pretty much everyone. One of the nicest guys in the group, a nurse from my region, was attacked for daring to ask if the troon wanted to consider pregnancy at some point. The Italian language has feminine and masculine words, and his mistake was using "incinta" (pregnant) rather than the masculine word "incinto", because obviously ftm troons are men even if they have womb, ovaries and menstruate. Couple of days later, he left the group.
Another few days go on and the troon managed to alienate even more people: one guy dared to decline an invitation to the troon's apartment, obviously because he's a transphobe and not because the troon, in xir own words, actually didn't even live in Italy but abroad; another asked why xir joined an Italian group if xir lived abroad, that's another transphobic attack leaving the troon literally shaking in fear. Both guys left the group right after.
Then the troon starts complaining about how everyone was a transphobe for not sending xir their own dick picks by PMs, because gay men are obviously doing it all the time. The troon now spams the forum with pics of leg muscle turned into a 5cm troon dick, because that's what gay men want to look at. More and more accusations of transphobia because nobody is commenting them.
At this point I quit the group. Few months later, I stumble on a former member on grindr, he informs me the group was disbanded after it was flooded with pictures of gore and what looked like cp. The owner and main moderator just got sick of it and pulled the plug.
Because of one mentally deranged troon, a young gay man might get hiv because he doesn't know about prep, or because he didn't know that a broken condom developing into hiv can be avoided by going to the hospital for a post-exposure treatment. All the help we were providing to our community, gone.
And this is why I am completely fed up with troons. Their narcissism, their pathological need for validation and attention, the lies they're telling themselves and others all the time. The way they can override and destroy everything they touch. And now they're even on fucking grindr calling you names if you dare not to want to touch their disgusting meat tubes.
