But the thing is: that's their SOLE departure. Other than this? TRAs and the more familiar breed of traditionalist gender-enforcers are on the same page. They only differ on who gets to assign these stereotypes (the individual vs society), and on what basis (one's fee-fees vs observed biological sex). Which, at least from where I sit, looks less like fundamental disagreement than mere quibbling.

Yeah, this. They both believe in gender-conforming boxes for people. It's just that the TRAs believe people can go into any box they want at any time. And anyone who escapes or is in the process of escaping these boxes entirely (gnc) they try to force them back in through social pressure by claiming they are actually the opposite gender or something. And if the gnc person takes issue with this they are called regressive and close-minded or in denial about their own "egg"ness.
