They become so wrapped up in their identity that it becomes the single defining aspect of them as people. It is the only thing they talk about and they have to be the center of attention.

It tends to be the case with most of the TQ+ that their identity is the entirety of their personality, and that narcissism abounds, but the T really seem intent to turn that up to 11. Even before things started going off the rails completely with the Ts, my experience was that most were b o r i n g people. Try to talk to them about anything other than trans "issues" or their personal "struggles", and... there's nothing there.

The somewhat older ones who had gotten educations and jobs prior to transitioning might be able to discuss topics related to that, but in many cases, it seems that transitioning wiped out any passion or interest they may have had for it. So the net result would pretty much be the same.
