A very similar story happened in Edinburgh, the Banshee Labyrinth is a rock bar/club that used to host fun shitty B-movie screenings, and then one (1) troon got kicked out the women's toilets one day and he made a huge fuss and complained and went crying to the press. He was vaguely famous and Edinburgh is pozzed so they changed it immediately and now girls have no safe women-only space in a nightclub in the Cowgate to get away from creepy men.My most frequented pub for the ages of 16 (no one ever took ID) through to my mid 30s.
It was a rock/metal pub that did live music on weekends and drew in quite well from surrounding areas. The guy who ran the place fell into the rabbit hole and trooned.
From then on it was troon flags everywhere, any bands or music deemed "problematic" taken off the juke box/stopped from playing, and special nights for the gender specials where no one else was allowed in.
He spiralled more and more into troonism and his life was basically spent trolling through social media for reasons to bar people. In the end he went full narc meltdown on the pub socials and barred basically everyone including many who were pretty concerned for him, but he took that as an attack as they usually do.
He rode that all the way into bankrupting the pub and himself since he put some shit in his new troon name rather than the limited company because he couldn't be assed to change the company's director from his old name and refused to use his "deadname" for anything.
Now he just stands around the town centre unwashed with terrible hygiene screaming at people calling them transphobic etc. Should have been taken into inpatient mental health care a long while ago but no one will risk their job to do that because troon.
Funnily enough he's famous for playing Simon in the FMV game Contradiction. Simon is a literal cuck who joins a deranged hypercapitalist cult full of sex, drugs, crossdressing and degeneracy that leads to a woman's death, so maybe he was just method acting.
People have mentioned video games generally but I'm surprised Baldur's Gate hasn't been mentioned specifically. Not just with PhilosophyTube's wooden voice acting in BG3, it started earlier with the 1.5 inter-sequel(?) Siege of Dragonspear. There was a troon NPC called Mizhena who talks like he's from 2010 California instead of the Forgotten Realms. You can't attack him (you can kill children and pets in Baldur's Gate 1 and 2) and you can't even really say anything mean to him, even if you're playing an Evil aligned character.
What fucks me off the most about this is that it could have worked, if they'd made it fit with the setting. This is a series where characters can and have literally changed sex, using magic. (There's a Cursed Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity in BG1 that is a loot drop from "an ogre with a belt fetish"
And give him some conflict! A huge part of what makes Baldur's Gate interesting is that some potential party members will disagree to the point of killing each other if made to work together (Minsc and Edwin, for example), so you have to decide whose side you're on and who to pick. They already had a Chaotic Evil female supremacist character in Shar-Teel from BG1. Have her be available for recruitment again and make her a massive TERF, saying that even if he gets the potion he'll never know what it's like to really grow up as a girl, or that he won't be prepared for the reality of womanhood having come to it so late. Then players would have a real choice between them and hear Mizhena argue his case and see how he deals with challenges. Anything would be more interesting than just "I'm a troon I'm a troon blah blah blah, agree how brave and stunning I am".
