reading your second paragraph I almost wondered if we were thinking about the same person, lol. I have a friend that's "suddenly" realized they're trans during quarantine, and literally all of those qualities: tech dude, super introverted, has mental health issues, is a furry, super into anime girls and now all things that are "uwu cute". and now all of his social feeds are dedicated to crying about mean JKR, TERFs, and wanting to look like an anime girl. It honestly feels offensive that his version of "womanhood" is playing into every annoying stereotype that women have tried to push back against. I really think that he's thinks he's discovered a magical "answer" to all of his longstanding issues, and now everything is seen through this lens. I just try to keep things light and I don't really hang out with him much anymore except group settings.
