Is this the same troonette? Or is another one having a breakdown after finding out that the grass isn’t greener?

Oh shit, yeah that is definitely the same troonette

She hasn't really found out that the grass isn't greener though. She still has no idea whatsoever of what it's like to be a man because she isn't one. She's a balding woman with a beard. She may pass as a man in carefully staged photographs but in real life she's going to trigger all kinds of conscious and unconscious triggers in the people around her that tell them she's not a man. And people, even those with the best of intentions will treat her differently because of it.

Crying about how she has no friends will do that.

one problem is they're sold on HRT as itself transforming you into the opposite sex, instructing each cell to change--instead, a hormone signals a cell, which takes certain steps: you can't fill a Super Soaker with estradiol and turn a guy into a woman with any amount: basically their brains were soaking in one hormone for 30 (or 13!) years, then it was all drained and replaced (and not warned of the effects beyond "you're a wo/man now, and that's all there is to it!")

plus the trans who do make headlines here were clearly very stereotypical and cliched before transitioning (or not bothering to), so they're either howling Sand People or catty tattletales--like, going "IT'S MA'AM" in a GameStop with a gaderffi stick or getting a target fired from their job and shunned by their community definitely falls squarely in the stereotypes of males/females respectively, but 90% of men or women I know would be disgusted by that behavior and not want to be associated because they fell in the same half of humanity ...
