There is definitely something incredibly performative and attention seeking about it. I went to an art talk by a transman who was queering "his" transness because she was now successfully passing as a man (the example was a repair guy assuming she was more knowledgeable about the house repairs because she passed as a man while her girlfriend was a normie woman). You could feel the bafflement of the comparatively woke audience. Isn't the point to be treated like the sex you're pretending to be? Yes, unless what you actually want is constant acknowledgement for being gender special. Meanwhile, my state's courts no longer issue marriage licenses to ANYONE because they don't want to have to acknowledge same sex LGB couples.

Maybe that woke audience is the issue, they do not realise that women are usually always assumed to know nothing about traditionally masculine jobs. I do not think they think at all to be honest.
