In many cases QT are relying on those stereotypes to be true.

I saw more than dozen 50+ years old new-wave bisexual TW who transitioned "because I like being more submissive" and "womanhood is defined by wanting to be penetrated". Many QT disagree with it, but not all and some are relying solely on it.

Even in this sub such topic was raised recently, where one pro-qt said something similar. Thread was deleted, thought.

Or things like that: https://saidit.net/s/GCdebatesQT/comments/833q/all_gender_critical_feminists_care_about_is/

It was deleted, but you can see quotes from there.

In practice I think most straight GC and QT advocating people act on gender norms to some degree in regards to sexual behaviour and fantasy

I have never once seen a GC person advocate for that. Can you point to an example? Or maybe I'm reading that sentence wrong. Do you mean they act on gender norms without advocating for them?

I expect trans people to be more gender conforming to the opposite sex norms "stereotypes" than non trans cis people.

I don't think stereotypes is a good word for it.

I don't think most straight GC people want to abolish those norms. Some do. OP thinks masculinity is the norm and femininity shouldn't be a thing.
