I'm gonna be real with you, I've met those people you're talking about and they're mostly just terminally online people who don't have a ton of life experience. They found something out about themselves and it was so profound to them that they think it's a global truth to paint everyone else with. It is completely understandable to be annoyed or put off by those people because it's a hella inappropriate thing to "jokingly" accuse someone of.
Worse, people like who you're talking about actively push harmful rhetoric that straight cis men must be trans because otherwise they wouldn't have feelings/be gentler/dress non-confirmingly/whatever and end up contributing to the harmful gender stereotypes themselves.
Don't get me wrong, I'm trans and it was true for me, but there's a time and a place and a type of relationship you need to have with someone before talking about that sort of thing.
A lot of r/egg_irl memes were about that clothing, behavior and interests. It makes sense for memes, because memes need to simplify and focus on something that can be visualized. That sub is meant to encourage and validate. But I think that’s also in part where this is coming from. egg_irl here is thankfully less relatable
Absolutely. r/egg_irl memes are funny and relatable when (IF) you're in your egg phase or you went through one. The retrospective nature of "I did this thing because I was desperate to live my gender in a safe/outward way... still cis though" is a completely understandable and cathartic thing.
But that is a place for people who ARE trans or gender questioning to release some of that pressure. Dragging that elsewhere and being so arrogant that you'd be okay with diagnosing someone else's gender dysphoria is awful.
I said in another post that the people I've met like this are often terminally online and not really socialized very well outside their cultural spaces and I think that holds true here, too. If you live and breathe in trans-focused spaces (especially if you're younger/the space is oriented towards that age group) it becomes easy to completely misunderstand communication and acceptable behavior outside those spaces.
